9.1 Application Information

The unbuffered inverter is commonly used in oscillator circuits because it is less sensitive to parameter changes in the oscillator circuit due to having lower total gain than a buffered equivalent. An example application circuit is shown in Figure 4. To learn more about how to use an unbuffered inverter in an oscillator circuit, refer to the Use of the CMOS Unbuffered Inverter in Oscillator Circuits application report.
