Binary and Decade Counter ICs
The last chapter took a detailed look at D-type and JK flip-flops and showed how they can be used to make various simple counting/dividing circuits. The present chapter continues this theme by looking at some practical examples of modern TTL and CMOS binary and decade counter/divider ICs. The chapter starts off, however, by explaining some more counter/divider basics.
‘Count’ Direction
The design of all the multi-stage clocked flip-flop counter/dividers described in Chapter 10 is such that, in each counting sequence, each of them starts its count with all binary outputs set to the ‘0’ state, and the outputs then increment upwards on successive clock pulses until the maximum count is reached, and the whole counting ...
