In microchip application note AN236, a 4069 inverter is used as an amplifier in the receiver, and I can't understand the reason for that.
I tryed to simulate the inverter as it shown in the datasheet with feedback resistor using LTspice but that didn't get me anywhere, can anyone help me understand the workings of such design choice.
The CD4069 is and was made ONLY as a UB (unbuffered) device. All the other CD4xxx devices are now B (buffered) devices. But the CD4069UB still has the same output drive current as CD4xxxB devices.The other reason it may not simulate is that only the CD4069UB can be used in linear mode. The 'U' means Unbuffered. Normal 4069 devices only work at standard logic levels.
The gain of the inverter is determined by the slope of the output characteristic showing the transistion from "high" to "low".I still did not fully understood the operation of the inverter as an amplifier :-( because there is no equation that give the gain ?
