Clock Divider

Versatile clock divider with all CMOS

This is a hardware based clock divider module to drive your synth sequencers and switches. All CMOS based, no microprocessor so it is easy to build, test and understand.

The module provides divisions of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128 in parallel. There is an LED indication of the divisions which are currently active when the clock pulse is received.

The output pulse mode is selected by a push switch. The mode allows for different effects on the modules receiving the pulse as follows:

• gate mode: outputs act like the outputs of typical binary dividers with the pulse for the division staying on until the next pulse of that divivion.
• trigger mode: the pulse is ANDed with the clock pulse so that the division pulse is only as long as the clock pulse.

Jumper adjustable clock pulse detection determines whether the rising edge or falling edge triggers the divisions. See the sketch included with the photos on the store page that shows how the clock mode affects the timing of the division pulses.

• Divide by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 in parallel
• LED indication of step
• Voltage controlled reset to return the clock and all divisions to 0
• Jumper adjusts +ve going or -ve going clock mode
• Highly customizable - easily change output levels
• 4HP Eurorack with our panel

The current draw measurements are with all LEDs on (i.e. in gate mode and on /128 stage). You can reduce the current draw by using larger resistors for the LEDs or use low power LEDs.
