I'm trying to design a frequency synthesizer with the old-school 4046 and 4017 ICs, with a scaling factor N = 1,5,7,10. The input signal is a square wave with adjustable frequency from 1 kHz to 10 kHz. I want to get a time jitter < 1% of the…

Edit: My primary objective is to learn the mathematical model to compute the load resistor \$R_s\$ to satisfy a given crystal's drive level, not just fixing the one instance below. I'm building a Pierce-Gate oscillator circuit using a 74HC4060 and…

I'm planning a large display board where I'll have to display 150 7 - segment digits. Which shift register is preferred here? 74HC4094 or 74HC595 or something else since I'm planning to chain these digits. The wire length maybe upto 2feet between…
