Current Mode Logic and Prescaler Project Notes
|
Project Report: Please note I ran out of time so the organization and writing of this report is lacking. It does cover the basics of designing an 8/9 dual modulus prescaler. |
If you improve upon this report please come back to this post and put a link to your improved version in the comments.
