I'm building a SWRX with PLL frequency generator and need a 1/2 dozen of
these chips. They are unobtanium from my Vancouver suppliers.

I need the speed of AS or S because the master osc. will be 60-90 MHz.

I live in Chilliwack, BC, Canada, V0X 1X0 for shipping calculations.

Thanks all!

I'd use a CPLD - it'll be faster, cheaper and take up less board space. You
can use it for the rest of the logic as well, including the phase detector.

Hi Leon,

Thanks. But as a tubehead myself, how on earth do I go about doing this?

You've got a lot of learning to do. 8-)

these chips. They are unobtanium from my Vancouver suppliers.

I need the speed of AS or S because the master osc. will be 60-90 MHz.

The 74HC390, a dual decade counter in one package, has a maximum
clock frequency of 66MHz, and is readily available (or at least a lot
more so than the AS or S package -- less power draw too).

Hi Leon,

Thanks. But as a tubehead myself, how on earth do I go about doing this?

CPLDs are one option, though I don't know enough about them as yet
to say for certain how easy or difficult it would be to design one in.

Here are a couple of links that may help.

The designer's kit will run you about $50.

Happy hunting.
