The CD4040BM is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the CMOS 4000 series family. It is a 12-stage ripple counter with an internal oscillator and binary outputs. With its ability to divide input frequencies by a factor of 2^12, the CD4040BM is commonly used as a frequency divider, timer, or counter in various electronic applications.
Here are some key features of the CD4040BM:
1. 12-Stage Ripple Counter: The IC consists of twelve flip-flops connected in cascade, allowing it to operate as a 12-stage binary counter.
2. Binary Outputs: The CD4040BM offers twelve binary outputs, each representing a different stage of the counter. These outputs can be used to indicate the counter's current count.
3. Wide Frequency Range: With its internal oscillator circuit, the CD4040BM can handle a wide range of input frequencies, making it suitable for various applications.
4. Divide-by-N Functionality: The IC can divide the input frequency by a factor of 2^12 (4096), allowing for precise frequency division and counting.
5. Reset Capability: The CD4040BM features a reset input (RC input), which, when activated, forces all twelve outputs to go to a low logic state (0) simultaneously
