The MC74HC4020AFL1 is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a high-speed CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) 14-stage binary counter/divider.
Key Features:
1. High-Speed Operation: The MC74HC4020AFL1 operates at a high speed, making it suitable for applications requiring quick response times.
2. Binary Counter/Divider: This IC component functions as a binary counter or divider. It can divide an input signal by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, or 16384. The division factor is selected using the input pins.
3. Multiple Output Options: The MC74HC4020AFL1 provides multiple outputs, allowing users to access different division stages easily. It has 14 output pins (Q0-Q13), representing each of the 14 binary division stages.
4. Oscillator Input: The IC has an oscillator input (CLK) for providing the clock signal to drive the counter. The CLK input is controlled externally, allowing users to set the desired clock frequency.
5. Reset Input: The MC74HC4020AFL1 has a reset input (MR). When this input is active (low), it resets the counter to its initial state (all outputs are low)
