The MC14017BCPG is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It belongs to the CMOS logic family and is widely used in various electronic applications. The IC is equipped with multiple features that make it popular among circuit designers and engineers.
This IC is a 5-stage Johnson decade counter with built-in decoding and binary outputs. It is mainly designed to work as a synchronous counter, making it suitable for applications where precise counting and timing are required. The IC operates on a wide range of supply voltages, typically between 3V and 18V, allowing flexibility in different electronic systems.
One of the key features of the MC14017BCPG is its fully synchronous operation. This means that all internal operations of the counter are precisely synchronized with external clock signals. This feature ensures accurate and reliable counting, making it ideal for applications such as frequency division, clock signal generation, and digital frequency counters.
The IC has ten decoded outputs, which are in binary format, representing the count sequence. These outputs support cascading, enabling higher count sequences to be achieved by connecting multiple MC14017BCPG ICs together. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring large count ranges or frequency divisions.
Furthermore, the MC14017BCPG offers a high-speed operation with minimal propagation delays. This characteristic allows for efficient counting and reduces the risk of timing errors. Additionally, it features high noise immunity, ensuring reliable operation even in noisy environments
