The CD4518BPWR from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) counter belonging to the 4000B series, designed for high-reliability digital counting applications. This synchronous, up-counter operates over a wide voltage range (3V to 18V), making it versatile for both low-power and industrial systems. Packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP with tape-and-reel (TR) delivery, it is optimized for surface-mount assembly and complies with ROHS3 and REACH environmental standards. Its dual-element design (two independent counters) and 8 MHz count rate ensure efficient performance in timing and sequencing circuits.
The CD4518BPWR excels in applications requiring accurate counting, frequency division, or time-delay generation, such as:
The CD4518BPWR stands out for its dual-counter architecture, wide voltage range, and robust noise immunity, making it a superior choice for BCD counting applications. Its synchronous operation and asynchronous reset provide design flexibility, while the TSSOP package ensures compact integration. Whether for industrial, automotive, or consumer electronics, this IC delivers reliable performance in demanding environments, backed by Texas Instruments' quality assurance.
