Functional Features

• Decade Counter/Divider: The CD74HC4017M96G4 can count from 0 to 9 and then reset back to 0, making it suitable for applications that require sequential counting or dividing of signals.
• Buffered Outputs: The outputs are buffered, providing a strong and stable signal that can be easily interfaced with other components.
• Schmitt Trigger Action: The clock input has Schmitt trigger action, ensuring reliable operation even in the presence of noise or signal distortion.
• Active LOW Reset Input: The active LOW reset input allows for resetting the counter to 0 at any desired time.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: - High-speed operation enables quick counting or dividing of signals. - Low power consumption makes it suitable for battery-powered applications. - Wide supply voltage range allows for flexibility in different power supply configurations. - Buffered outputs provide strong and stable signals. - Schmitt trigger action on the clock input ensures reliable operation.

Disadvantages: - Limited output current may restrict its use in certain high-current applications. - Propagation delay of 13 ns may introduce timing issues in some high-frequency applications.

Working Principles

The CD74HC4017M96G4 operates as a decade counter/divider by sequentially activating its ten outputs (Q0-Q9) in response to clock pulses. Each clock pulse increments the counter by one, causing the next output to become active while the previous one is deactivated. When the count reaches 9, the next clock pulse resets the counter back to 0.

The active LOW reset input (RST) can be used to reset the counter to 0 at any desired time. This allows for flexible control over the counting sequence.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The CD74HC4017M96G4 finds applications in various fields, including:

1. Sequential LED Lighting: It can be used to drive LEDs in a sequential lighting pattern, such as in decorative lighting or advertising displays.
2. Frequency Division: It can divide an input frequency by 10, making it useful in frequency division applications.
3. Digital Counters: It can be used as a component in digital counters for various purposes, such as event counting or timekeeping.
