how to generate a clock divide by 3
Sigiloso
Assuming that input clock is square wave and 50% duty cycle, Method 1: Clk / 3 is equal to Clk / (6/2). this means fist divide by 6 and multiply by 2. dividing by 6( use two DFF(D is tied to Q_b and it is connected to clock of 2nd DFF). multiplying by 2( create some delay and XOR the two signals(the signal after dividing by 6 and its delayed signal), But it's hard to make the output clock have 50% duty cycle due to precise delay control. so alternative method 1 is first multiply by 2 and divide by 6. Method 2. Use 2 edge counters(one for rising edge and the other for falling edge) draw the state machine that goes (back) to toggle state when both counters become 2.
