I did the FDC design using the WD2797 chip. Anyone can reuse the design as
they wish. I have sold out of my original run of these boards.

The WD2797 has three adjustment, a capacitor and 2 trim pots. I used a
scope for these adjustment but then made a counter circuit in the Xilinx
CPLD to measure the pulse width. The adjustment procedure is given in the
users guide.

The circuit is in the design description.

Working with the Xilinx XC9500 series CPLD is easy and they are 5 volt parts
that you can get in PLCC packages. (Through hole sockets.)
Programming them takes a simple parallel port adapter that you can make on a
small perf board. I have a small PCB and all of the parts I anyone wants to
try to use them.
