Hey guys,
I currently have a 2.4567Mhz oscillator that is divided down to 0.614175Mhz using a dual flip flop IC (SN74AC74PWR).
I am replacing the oscillator with a 9.8304MHz one so we can get it working for a wider range of temperatures. I would need to divide this new oscillator down to 0.614Mhz. I have looked for a Quad flip flop IC, but they do not seem very common. Most quad flip flops I find only have one clock input for all 4 flip flops, which is not what I want.
I did manage to find one, but it's quite expensive (http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=MC10EP131MNG-ND. I know you can do some frequency division with counters and such, but I'm not really experienced with this kind of stuff. Is there a better way for me to accomplish this division? Or am I going to have to shell out 20$ for an IC?
Thanks!
