Frequency divider

Spectroscopists usually talk in terms of wavenumbers rather than frequencies or energies. A wavenumber is an energy divided by hco, or a frequency divided by C(j, and so we refer to the classical vibrational wavenumber rUe given by... 

A 16-bit programmable frequency divider, which facihtates the selection and scaling of the controller gains, provides the sampHng clock of the digital PID controller. The frequency divider has an input clock of 1 MHz. 

Miniature batteries based on aqueous, non-aqueous and solid electrolytes are manufactured as power sources for microelectronics and other miniaturized equipment. In Fig. 1.2, the sizes and shapes of some representative button cells are shown. A typical application for such cells is in the electric watch, where the oscillator circuit draws a continuous current of 0.2-0.6 pA and depending on the type of frequency divider and display, the complete unit may require a total of up to 0.5-2.0 pA for operation. Hence the total amount of electrical energy consumed in driving the watch for a year is in the range 15-60 mWh. At present, batteries are manufactured which last for 5-10 years. Watch batteries must have exceptionally low self-discharge rates and very reliable seals to prevent leakage. Further, they... 

Similarly, exact solutions can be obtained for products (or quotients) of lognormal distributions (e.g. Burmaster Thompson, 1995). This situation may be possible for some simple exposure assessments if one is working with one equation, such as the product of intake rate, concentration in the intake media (e.g. air, liquid), exposure duration and exposure frequency, divided by an averaging time and body weight, as long as all of the input distributions are lognormal. 

A much more general and appealing scheme would be a true optical frequency divider, as could be realized by synchronizing the cyclotron motion of an electron with a laser field [33,34],...

The quality factor, or Q-factor, is a general dimensionless parameter, used in mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, and optical contexts. Given some signal intensity S(co) as a function of frequency m, the Q-factor is defined as the resonance frequency divided by the bandwidth A (see Fig. 9.4) ... 

The first block DIV is a frequency divider. This block has 2 modes of operation, the normal mode and the test mode. In the test mode, the UART chip runs 16 times faster than in the normal mode. Also, the transmission data rate of the UART chip is 16 times faster than the receiving rate. Each block is initialized by setting the reset line low by applying a 0 to port MR. The TX block accepts 8-bit parallel data from the microprocessor interface (MP) block and transmits it serially to the RS-232 port through port DOUT. Conversely, the RX block receives serial data input, and sends it in 8-bit parallel format to the MP block. Again, the transmitter runs at 16 times the speed of the receiver. The microprocessor interface (MP) block asynchronously controls the parallel data flow between the RX / TX blocks and the microprocessor data bus.

In an FTIR instrument, the Fourier transform converts the intensity versus optical path difference to the intensity versus wavenumber. The optical path difference can be considered to be in the time domain because it is obtained by multiplying time with the speed of a moving mirror. The wavenumber can be considered in the frequency domain because it is equal to frequency divided by the light speed.

To evaluate the contribution from vibrational motion we need the vibrational frequency for nitrogen. This is reported by spectroscopists as 2360 cm "1. This unit, which is favoured in spectroscopy, is that of the actual frequency divided by the speed of light. 

An interesting feature can be added by placing a selectable frequency divider behind the CFD of the reference charmel. The effect of the frequency divider is shown in Fig. 4.3.

The CFD in the reference channel often has a selectable frequency divider (see section Sect. 4.1, page 47). The frequency divider ratio determines the number of signal periods recorded see Fig. 7.65.

Values greater than one are convenient for finding a short signal in a longer signal period. Furthermore, the frequency divider can be used to check or calibrate the time scale by comparing the displayed pulse distance with the known pulse repetition rate (see Sect. 7.10, page 345). 

Fig. 7.72 Without a reference frequency divider, photons with TAC times longer than one pulse period do not exist. The photon disfrihution drops sharply down to zero left of the TAC time (A) corresponding to the stop pulse period. The missing photons (B) are recorded at the end of the previous stop period...

The simplest and most accurate way to calibrate a TCSPC system is to use the pulse period of a high repetition rate laser as a time standard. The pulse period of Ti Sapphire lasers is between 78 and 90 MHz and accurately known. Diode lasers are usually controlled by a quartz oscillator and have an absolute frequency accuracy of the order of several tens of ppm. The signal is recorded in the reversed start-stop mode with a frequency divider in the reference path. The recorded waveform covers several laser periods, and the time between the pulses can be measured and compared with the known pulse period.
