This circuit generates a clock signal output and up to six additional outputs whose frequencies are divided by the master clock. There is an option for PWM on each of the divided clock outputs which sacrifices two of the outputs (4 divded outputs instead of 6). There are also options for random division and division of external clocks.
This is for a PCB (including programmed microcontroller) only suitable for multiple formats.
The Barton VC Clock/Divider has the following:
Controls:
Modes:
STANDARD CLOCK/DIVIDER MODE
In standard mode, the modules outputs pulses whose frequencies are divided by a master frequency. In clock mode, this frequency is controlled by the TEMPO control, and in divider mode this frequency is controlled by the clock inputted to the RESET input. In clock mode a rising edge on the RESET input will reset the clock and dividers, setting all outputs high. Pulse width is varied by the PWM controls for each output (not available if using 6 outputs). (Note: when changing divisions in any mode, new divisions are not recognized until after the output goes low, so when dealing with very high levels of division, there may be some delay when changing divisions) GRAPH 1.
RANDOM CLOCK/DIVIDER MODE
In random mode, PWM, RESET and TEMPO controls act identically as they did during standard mode, but the division of frequencies is no longer controlled by the DIVISION controls. Instead, frequency division is randomly selected and the DIVISION controls now control how often the division is selected and what levels of division are available. Each output has a re-roll counter which when it reaches zero causes that output to find a new random division. In Random clock mode, a trigger signal on the RESET input will cause new random divisions are reset all re-roll counters.
