3 years agoImplementation of SN7497 different from data sheet
This is an information to everybody who wants to use 7497 from the Quartus II libraries in the block editor.
I made a test circuit using in the block editor element 7497 from the library .../quartus/libraries/others/maxplus2, a programmable 6 bit frequency divider.
Logic symbol from data sheet:
Truth table from data sheet:
But my simulation showed a different behaviour:
With only one of the Bx inputs set to high the frequency division was
B0 1/64
B1 1/32
B2 1/16
B3 1/8
B4 1/4
B5 1/2
All Bx inputs high results in a division 1/1.
Combinations of two Bx inputs high result in strange pulse sequences.
I couldn't find a combination for division 1/40 like in the data sheet.
