ABSTRACT
Analog dividers are classified as (1) time division dividers and (2) peak responding dividers. The peak responding dividers are further classified as (1) peak detecting dividers and (2) peak sampling dividers. A rectangular waveform whose duty cycle is (1) proportional to one input voltage V2 and (2) inversely proportional to another input voltage V1 is generated. 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 the division divider. Time division dividers can be obtained by using (1) a saw tooth wave as the reference, (2) a triangular wave as the reference, and (3) no reference. All time division dividers uses analog multiplexer and analog switches for their operation. Time division dividers using multiplexers are described in this chapter, and those using switches are described in the next chapter.
