[time-nuts] minimalist sine to square

[Bruce Griffiths]

Now, if one added an optional TTL threshold 5V CMOS single gate inverter/buffer to produce 5V output when required and added an SMT 5V->3.3V regulator and mounted it all on a small PCB with pins to make it DIP compatible that would meet the brief and then some.

Otherwise an SMT (not many DIP ones left) comparator mounted on a DIP/SMT converter board would also work albeit with a PN/jitter performance penalty.

That would be an ideal single-chip 5 V solution for me but the two parts he mentions, MC1489 [3] and SN55182 [4], don't appear fast enough for a 10 MHz input.
