APPLICATION INFORMATION
Calculating the minimum and maximum divide-by-n
values:
Output frequency range = 87.6 to 103.8 MHz
(CCIR band 2)
Channel spacing frequency (f
Division factor prescaler (k) = 10
Reference frequency (f
Maximum divide-by-n value =
Minimum divide-by-n value =
Fixed divide-by-n value =
Application of the “4059” as divide-by-n counter allows
programming of the channel spacing (shown in equations
as 300 kHz). A channel in the CCIR band 2 is selected by
the divide-by-n counter as follows:
channel = n

Figure 11 shows a BCD switch compatible arrangement
suitable for divide-by-5 and divide-by-8 modes, which can
be adapted (with minimal changes) to the other
divide-by-modes. In order to be able to preset to any
number from 3 to 256 000, while preserving the BCD
switch compatible character of the JAM inputs, a rather
complex cascading scheme is necessary because the
“4059” can never be preset to count less than 3. Logic
circuitry is required to detect a condition where one of the
numbers to be preset in the “4059” is 3. In order to
simplify the detection logic, only that condition is detected
where the JAM inputs to terminals 6, 7 and 9 would be
LOW during one count. If such a condition is detected, and
if at least 1 is expected to be jammed into the MSB
counter, the detection logic removes one from the number
to be jammed into the MSB counter (with a place value of
2 000 times the divide-by-mode) and jams the same 2 000
into the “4059” by forcing pins 6, 7 and 9 HIGH.
The general circuit in Fig.11 can be simplified considerably
if the range of the cascaded counters do not start at a very
low value.
Figure 12 shows an arrangement in the divide-by-4 mode,
where the counting range extends in a BCD switch
compatible manner from 99 003 to 114 999.
