How about a part like a: SN74LVC1GX04DCKR IC CRYSTAL OSC DRIVER SC70-6 With a DC blocking capacitor the part should be self-biasing and give logic outputs. -- S. Cash Olsen KD5SSJ ARRL Technical Specialist On Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 7:35 PM, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > I need to convert a 5MHz 0.2

I would consider using a LVDS line receiver. http://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/lvds-differential-line-receivers/11820 They are available in SOT-23 package, and can have built-in hysteresis, and 3.3V CMOS output. --- Graham == On Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 6:35 PM, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote

The tl712cp works at 5 v and is self biased. Using one on the wwvb receiver to convert a 10 Mhz sine wave to square. 5V to 3.3 is pretty easy to convert. Maybe they make a 3.3V version. Paul WB8TSL On Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 7:35 PM, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > I need to convert a 5MHz 0.2Vpp AC cou
