Principles of Analog Dividers

Analog dividers are classified into (i) time division dividers and (ii) peak responding dividers. Peak responding dividers (PRDs) are further classified into (i) peak detecting dividers and (ii) peak sampling dividers. A rectangular waveform is generated whose duty cycle is (i) proportional to one input voltage V₂ and (ii) inversely proportional to another input voltage V₁. The amplitude of this rectangular waveform is constant. The average value of this rectangular waveform is proportional to the division V₂/V₁. This is called “time division divider.”
