Nit-pick - you mean to divide 32.768kHz by 2^15, not 2^16 to get 1 pps.



More nit-picking... according to wikipedia Lavet requires two states for one step, so 2^16 looks good based on this.


Damn... I mean 2^14 looks good. :)


If you divide by 2^15, you have 1pps, but two states per second (high/low). That might be enough.


Well, division was to be made with a binary counter. They typically work with rising edge clock, and you get a smaller circuit if you have 14 bits compared to 15 bits. I agree that 2^15 can be made to work by using both edges of clock signal.
