A CMOS inverter is used as a linear amplifier in oscillator applications. Similar to a conventional amplifier, their open-loop gain is a critical characteristic. The bandwidth of an inverter decreases as the operating voltage decreases. The open-loop gain of the AHC1GU04 device is shown in Figure 6.
This device uses CMOS technology and has balanced output drive. Take care to avoid bus contention because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits. The high drive will also create fast edges into light loads, so routing and load conditions should be considered to prevent ringing.
