Hey Dylan,
For my design, I will use a supply of 10 V, oscillator frequency of ~10 kHz with an output of ~1.22 Hz (10 kHz / 8192 = 1.22 Hz).
First I select the required capacitor with the given equations on the front page of the datasheet:
For 10 kHz operation:
R_TC * C_TC = 1/(2.3*10 kHz) = 43.478 us
Since R_S must be >= 10kohm and ~= 2R_TC, I know that R_TC >= 5kohm. That means that: C_TC <= 8.6956 nF
I selected an easy capacitor value of 1 nF
C_TC = 1 nF
Then use that value to determine R_TC:
R_TC = 43.478 us / 1 nF = 43.478 kohm ~= 43 kohm
R_S ~= 2*R_TC = 100 kohm
From these tables on page 2 of the datasheet:
I selected:
A = B = 0 for 13-stage operation
AUTO RESET (pin 5) = 0 for Auto Reset On, which automatically clears the counter when power is first applied
MANUAL/MASTER RESET = button input to reset the counter; this allows for a manual reset. The signal could come from any automated system as long as the voltages are correct (10V = high, 0V = low)
Q/Q_bar SELECT (pin 9) = 0 for "Output initially LOW after reset (Q)"
MODE (pin 10) = 1 for "Recycle Mode" which causes the device to oscillate at the output, essentially dividing the input frequency by the given value and automatically resetting after each cycle.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
