hi, this may seem to be a stupid question but, i have a 40 MHz series hybrid crystal clock oscillator from Newark Electronics. it is TTL compatible and will drive 1-10 TTL gates. can this be used with CMOS chips, for example in a Pierce Oscillator configuration? thanks in advance, brian wybaillie

No need to build a Pierce oscillator or anything unusual. .
