Output frequency in the following diagram will be :

A 1,31,072 Hz crystal drives a crystal oscillator, whose output feeds a 14-stage binary divider giving the output fo.

  • A.1 kHz
  • B.100 Hz
  • C.13 Hz
  • D.8 Hz

Answer: D

The output frequency is 8 Hz.

Each stage of a binary divider (one flip-flop) halves the frequency, so 14 stages divide by \(2^{14}\):

\[ \begin{aligned} 2^{14} &= 16384 \\ f_{o} &= \frac{131072}{16384} = 8\ \text{Hz} \end{aligned} \]

131072 is \(2^{17}\), so the result is \(2^{3}\) exactly. 1 kHz or 100 Hz would need a decimal (divide-by-10) chain, and 13 Hz does not come from dividing by any power of two.
