Time Base Circuit

A digital frequency counter needs a time-base generator to count the frequency with high resolution. Here we've presented a simple circuit for accurate time-base generation using the readily available 3.5795MHz crystal commonly used in telecommunication equipment. The crystal frequency is divided by 512 by IC1, which is further divided by 7 by CD4017 (IC2) IC2 is reset as soon as its Q7 output goes high. This frequency can be trimmed to exactly 1 kHz with the help of trimmer
