Part Suggestion for 10Mhz to 1kHz divider

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC1G123, CD74HCT390, SN74LV221A

I need to divide a 10Mhz CMOS square wave signal to 1kHz. Do you have any suggestions on logic parts that would fit this? It needs to be very low power and small footprint.


Thanks

  • Hi David ,

    Here is the link for the programmable frequency dividers offered .

    You could also use sn74LVC1G123 to configure it with RC for 1Khz output frequency .
  • I was looking at using two CD74HCT390 hooked together. The first one will be chained to create a divide by 100 using BCD option, and then fed ingot he second CD74HCT390 to ultimately create a divide by 10k. What is the advantage of this versus using the SN74LVC1G123 method? Any suggestions?

    I would assume that the G123 will be not as dependent since you are relaying on the R/C which can have variations. The 390 should be more deterministic so the frequency will have the same stability from input to output. It would just have a delay that would be consistent from period to period...

  • Hi David ,

    Using a counter to divide the clock by 10K is good choice too.
    For the LVC1G123 , the RC needs to be precise and shouldn't vary with temperature , if you plan to use it across temp.
    The non-retriggerble version of the multivibrator like sn74LV221A is needed to avoid triggering for every clock edge .
