PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER (N COUNTER)

The N counter consists of the 7-bit swallow counter (A counter) and the 11-bit programmable counter (B counter). If the Control

Bits are 10 or 11 (10 for IF counter and 11 for RF counter) data is transferred from the 22-bit shift register into a 4-bit or 7-bit latch

(which sets the Swallow (A) Counter) and an 11-bit latch (which sets the 11-bit programmable (B) Counter), MSB first. Serial data

format is shown below. For the IF N counter bits 5, 6, and 7 are don’t care bits. The RF N counter does not have don’t care

bits.
