Crystal Oscillator Circuit

The CMOS amplifier is biased into the linear region by resistor RB. The pi-type crystal network (CI and C2, and XTAL) provides the 180 phase shift at the resonant frequency



Digital-logic-probe

The probe relies on the power supply of the CUT (circuit-under-test). The input to the probe, at probe tip, is fed along two paths. One path flows to the clock inputs of U2a and U2b. The other path feeds both the inverting input of Ulc, which is set up as an inverting-mode integrator, and the...

great amp, ive used it in this form in reciever projects, great for replacing discrete component audio section in older projects. For guitar a better version is the 'Ruby' and variants with variable gain and other improvements.
