In digital electronics, the basic building blocks like 4000-series ICs are from the CMOS logic family, launched by RCA in 1968. After that, these ICs were migrated slowly into the 4000B buffered series in 1975. These ICs are available as logic gates, counters, 7-segment decoders, Flip-flops, decoders, timers, etc. The 4000 series ICs have a simple circuit design with low power consumption and a wide voltage supply range as compared to any current logic family ICs. This article discusses one of … [Read more...]
What is BCD Counter : Design & Its Operation
In the scope of digital logics, a counter is a tool that accumulates the information of how many times a specific process or event is occurring probably like a clock. The generally used type is a sequential digital logic circuit having an input line termed as a clock and has multiple output lines and the values those are on the output lines signify a number in the binary system. Every pulse that acts as input to the clock either increases or decreases the numbers count on the counter. With this … [Read more...]
