See, for example, this posting on the "time-nuts" mailinglist (which is dedicated to precision frequency measurement/timekeeping): http://www.mail-archive.com/time-nuts@febo.com/msg26830.html With a feedback resistors (say, a few 10kOhm) and a series input capacitor (a few nF) the bias-DC of the input will automatically adjust to 1/2 duty cycle. Using anything more fancy, for example high-bandwidth comparators, is frowned upon. Chris
