Again, thanks Jim.

After I read your first message, I googled with different keywords. As
a result, I did find a schematic which showed a 4584 cmos gate
oscillator with the input (Vcc) varied to control the output
frequency. With an R of 2.2 meg and a C of 220 pf, the author claims
that 2.5v in produces 1 Khz out and 9v in produces 20.8Khz out.


That's a ST hex inverter.

I'd post it, but I think binary attachments are forbidden here.


just post a link, like this one:

That works because the 4584 has hysteresis. I think an ordinary
inverter will vary only a small amount.

I have made custom chips where the inverters had current mirrors in
the rails.
