i want to know the equation which will calculate number of stages in VCO to get desired frequency.
 

kandavel,
I'm assuming that you are talking about the number of frequency division counter stages.
.
Let R = the frequency ratio
N = nuimber of stages.
The n = log2 R
Where log2 means logarithm to the base 2.
If R is a power of 2, then log2 R will be an integer.
If not, then round up to the next higher integer value. In this case, since N will not be a power of 2, you will need some extra logic in your counter to divide by the integer.
.
Example, let R = 5.
log2(5) = 2.321928...
Round up to 3.
You need a 3 stage counter.
The 3 stage counter with no extra logic will divide by 8, so you need some logic to convert the 3 stage binary counter to a divide by 5 counter.
Regards,
Kral

you can do the 3 stages counter to extra one by creating new ones
as example
use aselect from decoder to
72135 counter
ii think it will work
