Usage

Schematic from beavisaudio
The 40106 is often used as an oscillator in DIY CMOS noisemakers. With just an additional resistor and capacitor, its gates can be driven into self-oscillation, generating a square wave. Two or three of its gates can be safely used in this manner; otherwise, the chip might overheat.
