Looking for a bit more technical assistance as I try to educate myself on how Oscillators and Crystals work in a circuit.
As mentioned above I'm trying to construct a 300 Hz strobe based around a 4.9152 crystal and an HEF4060BP binary counter/divider and oscillator. Looking at the Product data sheet for the HEF4060BP we have the
Pin out diagram : -
I'm confused by how you calculate the
counter out values when there is no Q1, Q2 or Q10 - see here for the
Pin description table: -
To get from 4915200 Hz to 300 Hz I need to divide by 2 ^14 i.e. 16384 - so, put simply, what pin would that be??
I appreciate I need to build a circuit involving caps and resistors to get the whole thing oscillating and that a Darlington pair will be required to drive an LED - I'll also need some judiciously place diodes.
Small steps ...
