#136689 - Schmitt trigger for crystal oscillator??
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Should you really be using a Schmitt trigger for the inverter in the crystal oscillator? Ideally, the feedback resistor biases the inverter at the point of maximum gain.

Some Schmitt triggers these days are actually a RS latch, with set and reset driven by inverters with different thresholds.

They will tend to oscillate without a crystal, and may oscillate at the wrong frequency with a crystal.
