CD40193BCN

The CD40193BCN is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component widely used in electronic devices. It is a 4-bit synchronous binary up/down counter designed primarily for application in computers, calculators, and other digital systems. One of the key features of the CD40193BCN is its versatility in counting direction. It can operate in both up and down counting modes, depending on the control inputs. In the up mode, the counter increments its value by one for every clock pulse, while in the down mode, the counter decrements by one. Another notable feature is its synchronous operation, which means that the internal flip-flops are triggered by the clock signal to update the counter value simultaneously. This ensures accurate and reliable counting across all bits of the counter. The CD40193BCN also has a carry input (CI) that allows the connection of multiple counters in cascade to achieve larger counting ranges. The carry output (CO) indicates an overflow condition when the counter exceeds its maximum value. Furthermore, this IC component has a reset input (MR) to clear the counter and set its value to zero. This feature is useful for initializing the counter before the counting operation begins. The CD40193BCN operates on a wide supply voltage range, typically between 3V and 18V, making it compatible with various power sources. It also has low power consumption, which is beneficial for battery-powered applications
