Hi everyone,
I am getting ready to build a frequency divider board for a Z80 game console project. I have a 32MHz active crystal oscillator and want to divide down this to produce the following frequencies that will be used across varying components of the project:
I originally thought that I would be able to use a ripple counter such as the CD4040BE however the IC doesn't support such high frequencies as 32 MHz (The project is powered at 5V also) so I'm looking for an alternative. One caveat is that the project is designed to make use of few and inexpensive parts as it's aimed at amateurs as a hobby project. I suppose that I could combine the CD4040BE for the lower frequencies if I'm able to half the frequency at the higher frequencies.
Many thanks,
RipX
