Some build notes for the nonlinearcircuit divine CMOS.
I first encountered this circuit in 4U. Its a great module.
Now I have the fortune to build this in Eurorack format and see how it works.
There are 2 CMOS chips. A CD4520 & a CD4070.
Both are surface mount.

The CD4520 is a CMOS Dual Binary Up-counter.
It consists of 2 identical 4 stage counters.

The CD4070 is a Quad 2-input Exclusive - OR gate
The Divine CMOS is a divider & mixer. Can be used with both audio and CV/LFO inputs to either divide and mix up audio level harmonics or get interesting patterns to drive other modules.
