The Onsemi MC14040BDR2G is a CMOS binary counter IC designed for digital counting applications. It operates with low power consumption and can count binary numbers in a ripple-carry mode. The device features 14 stages and is capable of dividing the input clock frequency by a range of factors depending on the connections made to the output. Functions - Binary Counting: The IC counts in binary from 0 to a predefined maximum based on the number of stages. - Ripple Carry: The counter operates in a ripple-carry manner; the carry output of one stage serves as the clock input for the next stage. - Multiple Modes of Operation: It can function in different modes such as up-counting or down-counting depending on the configuration of the control pins. - Reset Function: The counter can be reset to zero through an active-low reset pin. Applications - Digital Clocks and Timers: Utilized in timekeeping applications where accurate binary counting is essential. - Frequency Division Circuits: Used in digital frequency dividers for communication systems. - Event Counters: Applicable for counting occurrences or events, such as in traffic monitoring systems. - Binary Scale Governors: Used in weighing systems where counts may need to be tracked. Alternative Parts - 74HC4040: A similar 12-stage binary ripple counter, suitable for higher speed applications. - MC14518: A related counter IC with different configurations. - CD4040: Another binary counter IC that offers similar functionalities. - 74LS293: A 4-bit binary counter and divider that may serve as an alternative based on specific counting needs. Embedded Modules - Arduino-Compatible Modules: Some modules built for Arduino include counters based on MC14040 or compatible architectures that simplify integrating counting functions into projects. - Raspberry Pi Add-on Boards: Some Raspberry Pi boards feature the MC14040, allowing users to employ a binary counter in their applications without extensive design.
