The CD54HC4040F3A is an integrated circuit (IC) component commonly used as a binary counter. It belongs to the CD4000 series of logic devices and is built using high-speed CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology. This IC has a 12-stage binary ripple counter with an asynchronous reset feature, and it can operate with a power supply voltage ranging from 3V to 18V.
Some key features of the CD54HC4040F3A are:
1. Binary Counter: The CD54HC4040F3A operates as a binary ripple counter, allowing it to count in binary (base-2) increments. It has 12 stages, which means it can count from 0 to 4095 (2^12 - 1).
2. Asynchronous Reset: This IC has an asynchronous reset input (RESET) that allows the counter to be reset to 0 at any time independently of the clock input. The counter will reset to 0 when the reset input is asserted.
3. High-Speed Operation: The CD54HC4040F3A utilizes high-speed CMOS technology, enabling it to operate at a fast clock frequency. This makes it suitable for applications that require quick counting or frequency division.
4. Supply Voltage Range: The IC can operate within a wide supply voltage range, from 3V to 18V
