Or even use the A2D

What sort of VCO resolution do you want, and how often does it
need to change ?

This two-gate CMOS VCO works OK. I've used it in the past but
have no notes about power consumption. Didn't know there'd be a
test. Values are from the original circuit in ETI 7/82. You may find
that linear characteristics vary between manufacturers
