An attempt to build a top octave divider. This can also be used to make any static prescaler.
Original MOSTEK chips require a supply voltage of ~15v (Max 16v). Input clock voltage must be between 0v and Vss -1v min. To avoid this, a TTL compatible master clock is include in schematic (Typical clock frequency is 2.00024 MHz).
MOSTEK chips differs in their number of dividers and duty cycle :
- MK50240 : 50% - 13 dividers (239 to 478)
- MK50241 : 30% - 13 dividers (239 to 478)
- MK50242 : 50% - 12 dividers (239 to 451)
This emulation only generate a (almost) 50% duty cycle. Thereby, MK50241 model is not supported since the timbre will be affected.
Original MOSTEK chips sink 24mA@15V : 0.36w Typ. (Max 37mA@15V = 0.56W). You need 13 attiny4/13 to emulate a MK50240 (12 for a MK50242). Total power consumption for 13 ATtiny13 is about 30mA@5V (Not include clock circuitry).
