Hi all,
I have a 1.6V volt squarewave (output of an RF prescaler) that I would like
to use to drive the clock of a binary counter chip (I am trying to make an
RF frequency counter) The 1.6V signal has a MAX frequency of 50MHz. I need
to convery the 1.6V signal into a 5V squarewave to drive the counters clock
input. The circuit that I am using as a guide
(http://www.aade.com/dfd4.htm) uses a 4046 PLL chip between the RF prescaler
and the counter chip, but I am not sure how this works. Would using a high
speed opamp work for this? The counter chip I am using is the 74VHC393 Dual
4-bit binary counter. Thanks for your time,
cheers,
Jamie Morken
