32MHz clock buffer and divider

Hello all, I have a nice 32MHz 3.3V CMOS 50% duty cycle clock, and I'd like a /2 and a /1 copy with less than +/-1ns skew between rising edges. Of course I can stick the clock into a 74vhc74 strapped as a /2, but how do I get a buffered copy with the same tpd and low skew? Is there a way to find an inverter or a buffer in the other flip flop in the 74 package? My brain is kind of burnt right now (flu + overwork), do you think if I use tinylogic parts, 1 flip flop and 1 buffer, I can get a tpd and skew matched to each other across a 5% variation in supply and 10C to

50C temp range, even though it's two chips? I just wanna know real quick so I can order parts on Digikey for the weekend, hopefully by then I'll be able to read datasheets again thanks!

Reading datasheets you'd know that propagation delays always have wide margins. So you can't count on it for achieving a well specified delay. The only thing I can think up right now is to multiply the frequency by two. Then use a divide by two and a divide by four counter to get the frequencies you need. Make sure both the output flipflops reside in the same package. It's the best chance that delays and temperature dependencies are the same for them, so the clocks will be as synchronous as can be.

symmetry:

build your /2 from gates and then force the /1 through a similar path

should give excellent temperature stability etc.

Personally, i recommend looking at clock driver chips.

Perhaps feed the clock to two gates from the same 74AC86 (XOR) and make one invert and the other not.

Cheers,

as long as the Clk to Q in the two output flops track I guess this could work,

+----+ +---|D Q| | | | | +-|C Qb|----+ | | +----+ | +--------+-------------+ | | | +----+ | +--| X | | Fin*2 | O |--+-------------+ Fin-------+--| R | | | +----+ | | | +----+ +------------------------|--|D Q|------- Fin_div1 | | | | | +--|C Qb| | | +----+ | +--------+ | | | +----+ | | +----+ | +-|D Q| | +--|--|D Q|------- Fin_div2 | | | | | | | | +-----------|C Qb|-+--+ +--|C Qb| +----+ +----+
