I am not using a D/A. The output frequency is created simply by turning the output pin on and off quickly. I also do not have a debugger, which may have helped me. It seemed to be the simplest solution at the time. I could probably get away with a refresh rate of about 2Hz or so. A lookup...

I agree. Unfortunately I am the one who has to do this. The datasheet sates that in PLL mode the minimum frequency input is 8MHz. Unless I am missing something, this will not work for me as I am working in the Hz and kHz range. Regardless I did order a couple in to play with, so if there is a...

I was thinking I may run into a problem like that. Indeed I encounter more problems when I try to multiply the pulses as opposed to just moving the registers from the input to the output. The pulse widths get smaller as the frequency increases. I don't see this being a problem. I don't see...

I do actually have an Arduino sitting on my desk. I don't think it has any advantages over the PIC I am using though. The Arduino is much more expensive than the PIC as well. I am currently counting pulse width not frequency. I am taking the input pulse length, multiplying it by a number (this...

If it wasn't already painfully obvious I am not overly familiar with electrical components. I will review that page and see what I can find. Thanks for your help.

This is not for school. It was supposed to be a minor interface component of a product I am developing. I was thinking, perhaps mistakenly, that it would be really easy to get a micro controller to count an input pulse length, multiply it by x and output that value as a pulse length. I still...

Thanks for the reply, I have looked at stuff like that before. The problem is I need to divide by weird numbers like 8.533. not just multiples of 2.

Hello, I am trying to design a circuit capable of dividing a 70Hz - 5.7kHz square wave signal down to a 1Hz - 1kHz square wave signal. The exact output frequency must be adjustable. I am currently working with a PIC16F631 chip and had some luck with low frequencies <300Hz using if statements...
