[ARC5] Square wave oscillators

[David Stinson]

Wayne- I've been using programmable oscillators with 
square-wave outputs in "crystal" applications for several sets.  
I've heard all the "it won't work for (fill in reason)."  
In my applications, they work just fine and are about 
1/10th the cost of a crystal.

Here's a diagram of some work I did back in Feb.
I used a little "buck" DC-DC converter, tucked in a
chassis space, to power them.  Works great.
And does not require all the fiddle-dee-dee and
external circuitry needed to use an AD9850.
