Tom, Divide the 10 MHz down to 2 MHz in the usual way, then multiply by 8 with a cascade of three analog freq doublers separated by fairly narrow bandpass filters. Caveats: Would need four filters total along the path to get rid of unwanted frequency components, gain distributed along the path t

We use the ICS527 for many applications easy to get 80 or 160 MHz. in non critical applications I use an AC14. Have a small board, 14 and ISC only if interested have to look for it it is pre relocation. Juerg may also have one. Corby uses it in his latest HP5065 tests along with a AD9850 DDS.Ber

I'd recommend keeping the involved frequencies and power as low as possible. The VCO/PLL route is probably the most straightforward, but using arithmetic operations instead can be simpler at this frequency, because the filtering can be readily done with common crystals. If you divide the 10 MH

and what wold happen if you divide the 10MHz by 10 -- with any simple counter chip -- and injection lock a 16MHz crystal oscillator with that 1MHz, since the jitter is not critical of course it does not hurt if you make the 1MHz pulses narrow, you could use the micro-controller's own oscil

Hi If (as originally specified) noise and jitter are not a big deal - there are a lot of chips out there like the ICS570. They are designed to do weird ratio frequency conversions so 10 to 12 or 10 to 16 are trivial for them. The Clockblock board was one way to get it all put together. Bob
