[time-nuts] What's the easiest way to divide by 10 forThunderbolt reference output?

[Robert LaJeunesse]

A part like any the Cypress PSoC family is much more flexible (but potentially 
harder to program) than the PIC because it has hardware blocks that can be 
made to do very useful work independent of the processor. The processor can run 
on its internal RC oscillator while one digital block would take an external 
clock and divide it down by any value up to 256. Like the PIC software is free 
and development tools can be had at low cost.
