Block diagram of a basic synthesiser

Here is the block diagram of a basic synthesiser. The “R-counter” generates the reference frequency. In the MC145152-2 you have about 3 different options. In mine you will have over 2000 different options. The reference frequency can be interpreted as the channel-spacing of the final synthesiser. The “N-counter” divides the output of the external voltage-controlled [...]

CIRCUIT DIODE SWITCHED SYNTHESISER

Now I shall introduce my somple diode counter. To start off with, the MC145152-2 A-counter can have a count of 512, 1024, or 2048. This means that a 12.8MHz crystal, divided by 1024, will give you a reference frequency of 12.5kHz. You could alternatively use 6.4MHz divided by 512. Not many options there! You still [...]
