I need help setting up this to an N factor of 1000. I am trying to lay this
chip out on a PCB. I have the manufacturer data sheets, but I don't
understand them.

Any help would be great.

I need help

Despite those folks who warn about EXCESSIVE cross-posting,
posting the same question individually to 7 groups is a really stupid
approach.
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:[email protected]+CD4059A&filter=0

This practice robs those people who do not habitually visit all the
groups
of the wisdom of others on the topic.
It also doesn't let everyone know
when the question has been answered sufficiently.

If the query is relevant to multiple groups, DO cross-post (within
reason).
Proper use of the Followup-To line is also useful.

Your question is inappropriate for
sci.electronics.repair, sci.electronics.cad, and
sci.electronics.equipment,
and is too elementary for sci.electronics.design.

i just took a look at that.
from what i can see it creates a
group counter value that you use as
the down counter segment.
in other words if you use the /2 then
the down counter will work in /2 sections
if you select the /5 then each down count
will go in /5 counts.
etc.
that is the way i understand it.
so you can have a divide by 2,5,8,10
for each down count etc..
i think its nothing more than a pre'scaler
that feeds the common down counter.
that is just what i got from reading it.
