From TTL/CMOS is very easy just low pass filter the square wave output
of the divider see:
http://www.wenzel.com/documents/waveform.html
If you are concerned about using a non unity mark space ratio waveform,
don't be it doesn't have to be that exact see:
http://www.wenzel.com/pdffiles/choose.pdf
74LCX is just a variety of high speed CMOS (> 100MHz clock) that
operates from a 3.3V supply, both its outputs and inputs will tolerate
5V logic signals.
