Re: Divide by N parallelling diodes

I am using a CD4040 to divide down a clock frequency. I would like to
connect several outputs in parallel with diodes to make their divisors
additive. The output is then between their common and a 1M pull-up
resistor.

I have tried everything I can think of to make this work. I am tying
reset to ground, but something tells me this is not right. What I get
doing this is a pulse train, with each pulse less than 50% duty cycle.

Unable to find anything online. Can somebody tell me the proper way?

Thank you,

Put a pullup on the reset and connect diodes, anode to reset, to the
outputs. Use 2nd MSB as output.
