hi can someone please help me.. I need a 5Mhz oscillator.. I was told that the simplest way is use a 5Mhz crystal connected to inverters...but here lies the problem..electronics isnt my field .. could anybody please tell me how this is connected or a even circuit diagram would be brilliant..

would really appreciate it.....
Thanks

The simplest would be a crystal oscillator connected to 5VDC. Like this one -> https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2009/03/xo52.pdf and many others. $2.24 at Mouser.

Yup. Doen't design you own when the complete oscillator is so cheap.
