CD74HC4040E Counter IC Binary Counter 1-Element 12 Bit Negative Edge 16-PDIP

The CD74HC4040E is a high-speed, 12-bit binary counter IC designed for counting applications in digital systems. It features a single 12-bit counter element that increments on the negative edge of the clock signal. This IC is part of the HC (High-Speed CMOS) family, providing faster operation and lower power consumption compared to standard CMOS devices. The CD74HC4040E is housed in a 16-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), making it suitable for through-hole mounting in standard PCB designs. The IC counts from 0 to 4095 in binary and outputs the count in a parallel form across its 12 output pins. It is ideal for use in frequency dividers, pulse counting, and time-delay circuits, where precise binary counting is required. The counter's outputs provide clean, reliable signals, making it suitable for applications in digital clocks, event counting, and other timing-based functions. The negative edge triggering feature ensures that the counter increments with high precision on the falling edge of the clock, which is useful in synchronous circuits where control of timing is crucial.

• 12-bit binary counter
• 16-pin PDIP for through-hole mounting
• Fast switching for high-speed counting operations
