Programmable Divider Restores SVGA Pixel Clock - 03/28/96 EDN Design Ideas: if you've tried to design a video-overlay board that works with super-video-graphics-adapter (SVGA) graphics through a feature connector, you've probably noticed that the frequency of the supplied clock signal is not always equal to the pixel-clock frequency. in high-color modes (32, 000, 64, 000, and 16 million colors) , the clock usually runs at 2 or 3x the pixel frequency. You can restore the pixel clock by using a simple programmable divider, as opposed to the more complex PLL circuit used in many video-overlay boards.

Provides Serial or Sequential Timing - 09/26/96 EDN Design Ideas: in this design, you can adjust as many as eight time intervals, and repeated operation is optional. You can use the timer to control the external load either serially or sequentially, depending on the application. The basic timer uses a 4060 (IC 4) with a fixed timing capacitor. The analog switches connect the timing resistors to the circuit. A five-stage Johnson counter, IC 1, controls the analog switches.
