I saw this a while ago and found it interesting, but not being a proper time nut myself, I am wondering: are the advantages of this divider architecture maintained if you need a square wave output? Wouldn't the triangle->square conversion introduce its own noise, possibly swamping the gains of the lambda divider? As an aside, I have noticed that every time this question comes up, there are a variety of answers, ranging from "use a PICDIV" to "use this fancy low-noise architecture" to "use ECL / HC / modern fast logic gates." I read through the replies but never seem to leave the discussion knowing any more than I did at its start. It would be great if someone could provide the context to understand the relative merits of each suggestion---how they are likely to stack up against one another and how you would choose one over the others. I.e. please spend more time explaining why you are right and everyone else is wrong ;) Otherwise, it's just chaff.
