The application inquiries handled by the Product Applications gives opportunities to solve customer needs with new ideas and learn of ways the customer has used our devices in new applications. A couple of these calls lead to techniques of designing odd number counters with synchronous clocks and 50% outputs. The first technique requires a differential clock, that has a 50% duty cycle, a extra Flip Flop, and a gate to allow Odd integers, such as 3, 5, 7, 9, to have 50% duty cycle outputs and a synchronous clock. The frequency of operations is limited by Tpd of the driving FF, Setup, and Hold of the extra FF, and the times cannot exceed one half on the incoming clock cycle time. |
