Frequency divider circuit

摘要

A divider-by-factor frequency divider circuit is described. The rate-multiplier principle of eliminating pulses as regularly as possible from a number of pulses of the signal to be frequency-divided is modified so that low-frequency variations in the frequency-divided signal are reduced at the expense of an increase in higher-frequency variations. This modification is achieved through the addition of a second accumulator, a pair of adders, a subtracter and a presettable counter to the accumulator of a frequency divider circuit. A rate multiplier with a coloring characteristic inverse to pink noise is thereby obtained.
