Oscillator Proposal...

Suppose I have a series RLC, one end grounded, the other end driven by
a chip, how might I make that into an oscillator?

All wild ideas accepted... this is for a custom chip.

Series RLC is harder than parallel, because to leading order there's no
signal on the pin at resonance. (If it were parallel, you could do a
single-ended version of the MC1648, which you may have heard of.)

You need to arrange a negative resistance at the pin, which isn't hard
to do, and use the AC current to drive the next stage.
