Hey all. I'm working on a project where I need to divide a 6 Hz signal by 2 to get a 3 Hz signal. However, I have really limited space and don't want to use a 14 pin package just for a single flip flop...I'm looking for suggestions on what the most economical method with respect to size and component count to implement a divide-by-two would be?
Use a PIC10F200 in a 6 pin SOT 23 package.
You can get one D-type flip-flop in small 8 pin packages, as small as
0.95 mm x 1.95 mm for ball grids:But if you have already a microcontroller on your PCB, it is possible to implement it in software, but it depends on your requirements how fast and accurate it needs to be and if your microcontroller has enough spare time to do it (e.g. in a 1 kHz interrupt, if you can live with 1 ms delay and about 1% jitter of the output signal).

Those are 8 pin packages and should be small enough for your purpose.

No Q/ output
Try the ...g80
-- Aarrghhhh!!!
And Vcc is 2.7V max! (AUP is 3.3V supply).
Nial.
Is the input a clean, fast logic level? If not, you'll probably need some signal conditioning before the flipflop.

Try Fairchild's TinyLogic series. Something like the NC7SZ74 in a US8 package might work for you.
