AW: [sdiy] odd number counter??

[Czech Martin]

I've just seen an asynchronous CMOS binary counter circuit(:16).
It uses up to four diodes for decoding any number thus enabling reset.
This circuit can be made to divide by almost anything you want
it to.

Downside: you must be absolutely sure that no glitches escape.
Therefore capaictor on the reset pin, diodes tend to be slow anyway.

I thought that really no one would like to see *such* a circuit,
but now I'd perhaps dig it out again.

This time I know exactly where it is (living room table!)
