AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a schematic for a frequency multiplier with a factor of 78, noting that existing designs typically only achieve a factor of 2. The NE565 chip, introduced in the 1970s, is mentioned as a potential solution, with a suggested configuration involving a frequency divider. The desired output frequency ranges from 78Hz to 1560Hz, with a tolerance of ±2Hz acceptable. The discussion emphasizes the need for a practical approach rather than high accuracy. The conversation highlights the importance of exploring existing chip solutions and configurations for achieving the desired frequency multiplication.

Hi everyone, I just want to know if anyone here have a schematics to build a frequency multiplier. All I have see for the moment is multiplier with a factor of 2. I'm searching a factor 78 frequency multiplier. Also if it exist in a chip i would like to konw it to.Thanks

The first PLL / frequency multiplier chip (I think) was the NE565 chip in the early-mid 1970's. A block diagram of a NE565-based frequency multiplier is shown in

In your case, the frequency divider is by 13 by 3 and last by 2. I put the divide by 2 last so that the NE565 gets a 50% duty cycle square wave. To see inside the NE565, see

What is the frequency you are trying to multiply?

it's variable from 1Hz to 20 Hz to get at the output 78Hz to 1560 Hz
 
There are several ways to do this depending on how accurate you need it to be.
 
I don't need a high accuracy. \pm 2 Hz at the output is good enough for me.
 
he's there someone here

What about Bob's suggestions in post #2?
