I need to make a PLL that slaves to a 24Hz square wave. The output of
the loop would be a 60Hz square wave. Any CMOS level chips that would
be good for this? I understand that I would need to divide by a
decimal value of 2.5 for the loop.

Thanks,
Chris Maness

You could phase lock the 24Hz (movie frame rate?) to a 120Hz VCO
divided by 5, and divide the 120Hz by 2 to get 60Hz.

The lcm of 24 and 60 is 120. This suggests the best you'll get is 5/2 if
looking for exactness. i.e., 5*24 = 120 = 2*60

Or divide the 24 Hz by 2 and lock a 60 Hz PLL to the 12 Hz by a divide by 5.

Same thing but your soln. has higher frequencies so smaller caps.

CD or HC 4046, with a slow loop. Divide 24 by 2 and divide 60 by five
and lock at 12 Hz. There's some old IC (7490?) that will do both
divides for you.
