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 a constant. The average value of this rectangular waveform is proportional to the division V2/V1. This is called a time division divider. Time division dividers can be obtained by using (1) a saw tooth wave as reference, (2) a triangular wave as reference, and (3) no reference. All time division dividers uses analog multiplexer and analog switches for their operation. Time division dividers using multiplexers were described in the previous chapter 3, and using switches are described in this chapter.
