The MC14020BDR2G is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a 14-stage binary ripple counter with a built-in oscillator and a reset input. This versatile IC is widely used in applications such as frequency division, timing generation, and event counting.
The IC belongs to the 4000B series, which exhibits high noise immunity and low power consumption characteristics. The MC14020BDR2G is designed to operate with a power supply voltage ranging from 3 to 18 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of systems.
Key Features of MC14020BDR2G:
1. Binary Ripple Counter: The IC acts as a binary ripple counter with 14 stages, allowing division of input frequency by powers of 2. This feature is commonly employed in frequency synthesis, divide-by-N circuits, and clock generation applications.
2. Integrated Oscillator: The MC14020BDR2G incorporates an internal oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing elements. This oscillator enables standalone operation of the IC without requiring any additional circuitry for clock signals.
3. Reset Input: The IC includes a reset input that can be used to clear and disable the counter stages. This feature allows the user to synchronize the counter to a specific starting point or reset it during operation as needed
