The discrete LDO design presented here came about because of the need for an LDO (low drop-out regulator) for 5V designs. There are better performing LDO parts, but they tend to be either single sourced or expensive. This one can be made from common compo

Two inexpensive ICs divide a TTL clock signal by 1.5. By following the circuit with another flip/flop you could also generate a divide by three function.

It is really simple. It is a modulated RF power amp with a controlled ionic discharge.
