The MC14040BDR2 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the CMOS logic family. It is a binary counter that has 12-bit ripple counter with an asynchronous reset. The IC is fabricated using high-performance silicon gate CMOS technology, which allows it to operate at low power consumption levels.
One of the key features of the MC14040BDR2 is its ability to count up to 4095 (2^12 - 1) with each clock pulse. This binary counter has 12 internally connected flip-flops that divide the incoming clock signal by 2^12. The counter can be reset to zero asynchronously using the reset input pin, which makes it adaptable for various applications.
The IC operates within a wide supply voltage range of 3V to 18V, ensuring flexibility in different power supply environments. It exhibits low power consumption due to its CMOS design and can operate at high frequencies, particularly suitable for applications requiring fast counting operations.
Furthermore, the MC14040BDR2 features a buffered clock output pin that provides a divided-down clock signal. This output can be used for cascading multiple counters or for generating synchronized clock signals required in various sequential logic circuits.
The IC package is designed in a small-size DIP-16 (Dual In-line Package) format, making it easy to integrate into different electronic circuits
