Frequency Doubler Circuits
Last Updated on: Friday, October 16, 2009 03:42 AM
 

Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • CIRCUIT FORMS DIVIDE BY 1.5 COUNTER
    Two inexpensive ICs divide a TTL clock signal by 1.5. By following the circuit with another flip/flop, you could also generate a divide by three function.

74ACT74 Makes Low Skew Clock Divider - 12/17/98 EDN-Design Ideas: Serial-data systems often generate an internal clock at twice  data rate for mid-bit sampling or for generating bi-phase codes. External equipment and some internal processes require a clock that runs at.....(design idea added 6/06)
Amplifiers Perform Precision Divide by 2 Circuit - 02/06/03 EDN-Design Ideas: The classic implementation of a voltage-halving circuit uses two equal-value resistors. Using 1% resistors provides a divider output with 2% accuracy. For most applications, this performance is cost-effective and more than adequate. However,.....(design idea added 1/05)
Analog divider uses few components - 07/25/02 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1performs active voltage-to-current conversion or acts as a variable-gain current mirror with high precision and bandwidth. A typical application is testing high-speed ICs or other devices that have inputs designed to be driven from current-steering DACs to enable a modulated voltage source to control the devices.....(design idea added 12/04)
Charge Pump Circuit Divides by Two - 02/18/99 EDN-Design Ideas: Small size and efficiency approaching 100% make switched-capacitor charge pumps popular for voltage doubling and inverting in miniature dc-dc applications. Few are aware, however, that most charge pumps can halve as well as double or invert an input voltage. The increasing adoption of low-voltage logic makes this ÷2 capability useful for generating low-voltage supplies in portable equipment. You can use it, for example, to convert a 3.6V RF-supply voltage to 1.8V for powering low-voltage logic (Figure 1). Simply reversing  input and output of a voltage doubler makes it a voltage divider. Implementing this scheme with MAX660 or MAX1683 voltage-doubler charge.....(design idea added 6/06)
Cheap 40kHz Clock - ASCII format. This circuit has worked for me in many applications. (it might be an idea to buffer the signal befor using it. (There are still 5 unused gates in the 'C14) (electronic circuit added06/06/06)
Circuit Conditions Variable Duty Cycle Clock - 02/17/97 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit accepts an input clock of any duty cycle and generates any desired duty cycle at the output. You need to add only one flip-flop to the earlier design to generate an arbitrary-duty-cycle output. You can use the circuit to correct a non-50% input to a 50% output or to create a non-50% output from any arbitrary input duty cycle. The input-clock.....(design idea added 6/06)
Circuit divides frequency by N+1 - 07/11/02 EDN-Design Ideas:   Digital frequency dividers usually use flip-flop stages that connect the Q pin to the D data-input pin of the following stage. This configuration creates a binary waveform that you can feed back to the input. You can divide any integer lower than 2N with minimal stages, where N is the number of stages.....(design idea added 1/05)

Precision Divide by Two Analog Attenuator Needs No External Components - 03/17/05 EDN-Design Ideas: (design idea added 11/05)  Many modern A/D converters offer only a 5V input range, and using these converters with a 65V or larger input signal gives the designer a problem: how to discard half of a good analog signal without introducing errors and distortion. To solve....
