The CD74HC4017E from Texas Instruments is a high-speed decade counter/divider with 10 decoded outputs, designed for synchronous counting applications. Housed in a 16-pin DIP package, this 74HC-series IC operates within a 2V to 6V supply range, making it compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels. It features a 35 MHz count rate, enabling rapid state transitions for high-performance digital systems. The device supports both positive and negative edge triggering, offering flexibility in clock input configurations. Its asynchronous reset allows immediate counter clearing, while the up-counting direction ensures straightforward sequential logic implementation.
The CD74HC4017E stands out for its high-speed operation, flexible triggering, and reliable decade counting capabilities. Its wide voltage compatibility and asynchronous reset make it superior to basic counters, while the 10-bit decoded outputs simplify complex sequencing tasks. Whether for prototyping or production, this IC is a robust choice for digital timing, control systems, and interactive electronics. Texas Instruments’ adherence to RoHS3 and REACH standards further ensures its suitability for modern, eco-conscious designs.
