The IC component MC74HC4020AFELG is a 14-stage binary ripple counter from the 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic. It is designed to count up to 16384 binary values using a ripple carry and buffered clock inputs. The device comes in a small package (SOEIAJ-16), making it suitable for various applications.
Key features of the MC74HC4020AFELG include:
1. Binary Ripple Counter: The IC component is a 14-stage binary ripple counter, meaning it can sequentially count up to 16384 binary values. Each stage represents one bit of the count value.
2. Buffered Inputs: The MC74HC4020AFELG features buffered clock and reset inputs. This ensures the stable and reliable operation of the counter, preventing the propagation of noise or glitches.
3. Oscillator Input: It provides an oscillator input pin (CLK) that can be connected to an external clock source, allowing flexibility in counting speed and synchronization with other digital devices.
4. Reset Function: The IC includes a reset (RST) input pin, which when activated, sets all the counter outputs to zero. This can be particularly useful to initiate a fresh counting cycle or reset the device to a known state.
5. High-Speed CMOS Technology: The MC74HC4020AFELG utilizes high-speed CMOS technology, which enables rapid counting operations and reduces power consumption
