CHAPTER 10LED BinaryRipple Counter
THE PROJECT IN THIS CHAPTER DEMONSTRATES THE operation of a binary ripple counter IC by building an experimental board that shows how each output of the IC operates, using a single LED indicator per output. You could use the board for educational purposes to show how to count in binary, or you could build multiple boards to produce a mock-up of a mainframe computer that looks as though it is performing some really complex calculations!
If you previously built the color-changing light box in Chapter 6, you have already met the 4060 14-stage binary ripple counter IC. That project used just three of its outputs to change the color of an RGB LED. This chapter first delves into the operation of this IC and its 74HC ...
