How about using a simple single transistor crystal oscillator circuit, with the output going to osc in. If the chip fuses are set to rc, this will give you 1/4 clock out on osc out Anne Ogborn wrote: > > I'm using a xtal for my project, as I need an accurate > timebase, and I have to be cheap (production device). > So no can oscillator. > > I'm wanting a stable 1MHtz source to drive the ISD chip as well, > one locked to the CPU clock. > > The obvious thing to do is to tap into the xtal output. > So, can somebody tell me what sort of electronic wizardry I have > to do to make the 4MHtz crystal drive some sort of gate so I can > divide by 4 and drive the ISD chip???
