The MC14029BCP is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It belongs to the series of CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) counters/dividers. This IC is designed to operate as a 5-stage binary counter using external clock signals. Let's explore its key features and functionality in more detail.
1. Binary Counter: The MC14029BCP serves as a 5-stage binary counter, capable of dividing an external clock frequency by various multiples. It can provide binary output values ranging from 2 to 32 (or 4 to 32 when using the BCD output configuration).
2. Toggle Mode: This IC offers a toggle mode feature that allows dividing the frequency of the external clock signal by two. In this mode, the IC operates as a frequency divider, providing half the frequency of the input clock at the output.
3. Multiple Inputs: The MC14029BCP IC supports multiple inputs: CP1 (Clock Input 1), CP2 (Clock Input 2), and CP3 (Clock Input 3). These inputs can be used interchangeably to provide different clock signals, enabling versatile applications.
4. Asynchronous Reset: The IC incorporates an asynchronous reset feature (RST). When RST is activated (logic low), it sets the binary counter output to zero and clears any internal circuitry, allowing for a known starting point for the counter
