I was wondering how one would even use a PIC. You can make a 10MHz to 1PPS divider using a tiny 8-pin PIC. I have extras here. Send me email off-line if you want one. Cost is $2. /tvb ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe,

How close to 50% duty cycle do you need. is 0.50 good enough or do you need 0.5 ? If all you need is 15% accuracy a 555 timer set up to make a 0.5 second pulse would work but if you need better, then maybe a phase lock loop with a much higher than 1Hz oscillator and then you divide that

The PRS-10 already has a 10 MHz output locked to the 1 pps.  Just count the 10 MHz. I was working only with the information in the post that said only a PPS was available. I was wondering how one would even use a PIC. But if you have 10MHz then divide that down to 2Hz with decade counters.
