sn7405 + crystal = sine wave?

The 7405 has an open collector output. If you simply put a 7405 in place of a 7404, and don't do anything about those open colelctors, then the oscillator is bound to put out odd results, if it works at all. Michael

I'm using Tina Pro and playing with crystal oscillators. I can get a nice



4MHz square signal with an SN7404, but when I replace it with an SN7405 the signal is a sine wave. Is this normal?

Thanks! I thought that was a little strange.

If you put a 470 Ohm, or thereabouts pullup resistor on the 05, it will probably work the same as the 04.
