Neat (but sloppy - 1/5% to 2% error). That's a trinary input (1/10/100) in a SOT-23-5. John was suggesting 1-2-4-8 binary inputs. I've never seen a SOT-23-7. Up to six pins on a "SOT-23" I can understand, but where does the seventh pin go?

I think he was talking two binary inputs to switch between four output frequencies, so that's only 5 pins. JF

Ah, that would make sense. When I see 1-2-4-8 I naturally assume a 4-bit binary sequence. With only a binary divider it's even less interesting. |
