#83688 - Linear operation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Robert Revens said:
... that resistor (which, thanks to Charles' link I now know moves the output from the crystal into the linear range).

Note that it is the inverter that is put into its linear operating range; not the crystal.

An inverter is essentially just a very, very high gain amplifier; so high that its output is usually clipping hard up at the +ve supply, or right down at ground. But there is still a linear amplifier region in between - and that's what's required in this application!
(and this is why it tells you not to use a schmidt trigger inverter)
