Product Overview: CD54HC4024F High-Speed CMOS Logic 7-Stage Binary Counter
The CD54HC4024F is a high-speed silicon-gate CMOS 7-stage binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor design and production. This integrated circuit is part of the HC family, which is well-known for its high noise immunity and low power consumption. Designed to operate over a broad voltage range from 2V to 6V, the CD54HC4024F is suitable for battery-operated devices and other applications where power efficiency is crucial.
Featuring a fully static operation, the CD54HC4024F maintains its state indefinitely without the need for a clock signal, making it an excellent choice for simple timing applications. The device counts on the negative-going edge of the clock pulse, which provides flexibility in controlling the timing of the count operation. Each of the seven flip-flops within the counter is master-slave configured, ensuring reliable operation and accurate counting.
The counter advances on the edge of the clock pulse, and the count can be easily expanded by cascading multiple CD54HC4024F units. The counter's outputs are not buffered, which allows for higher count frequencies. The output of the seventh stage can be used as a clock input to subsequent counters or other logic circuits, expanding its utility in complex digital systems.
The CD54HC4024F is packaged in a durable ceramic flat package, ensuring robustness and reliability even in harsh environments. This makes it suitable for industrial and military applications where temperature extremes and rugged conditions are the norm.
Key features of the CD54HC4024F include:
