| LaserTazerPhaser:
Would the floating discharge terminal cause damage to this oscillator? |
| T3sl4co1l:
No, it's an open collector. Tim |
| T3sl4co1l:
It can be completely open. |

You may also connect it to VCC with no effect if you put an LED and series resistor in between :popcorn: Or leave it floating because it really doesn't matter :) |
