The STMicroelectronics M74HC4518RM13TR is a dual BCD up-counter integrated circuit (IC) under the category of logic ICs. It features two independent BCD up counters, each with four parallel data inputs (A, B, C, and D), a clock input (CP1 and CP2), a carry output (C_O1 and C_O2), and a ripple-carry output (RCO). Functions: 1. Dual BCD Up-Counter operation 2. Parallel data inputs for each counter 3. Clock inputs for counting 4. Carry and Ripple-Carry outputs for cascading counters Applications: 1.
