74LS92 DIP Divide-By-12 Counter (Separate Divide-By-2 SND Divide-By-8 Sections)

Product Description: 74LS92 DIP Divide-By-12 Counter (Separate Divide-By-2 and Divide-By-8 Sections)

The 74LS92 is a Divide-By-12 Counter in a DIP-16 package, designed to divide an input signal by 12. This IC features separate divide-by-2 and divide-by-8 sections, which work together to achieve the overall divide-by-12 function. The 74LS92 is ideal for use in digital counters, frequency division circuits, and applications where a specific time base or frequency division is needed.

The IC operates by taking an input clock signal and using its internal divide-by-2 and divide-by-8 counters to divide the signal. The resulting output is a frequency that is 1/12th of the original input signal. The 74LS92 is TTL compatible, ensuring reliable performance in digital systems, and is often used in clocks, timers, digital systems requiring specific frequency divisions, and frequency synthesizers. The DIP-16 package ensures easy integration into both prototype and production systems.

Features:

• Divide-By-12 Functionality: The 74LS92 divides an input signal by 12, which is ideal for timing and frequency division applications.
• Separate Divide-By-2 and Divide-By-8 Sections: The counter has two sections — one that divides by 2 and another that divides by 8. These sections work in tandem to achieve the divide-by-12 function.
• TTL Compatible: The 74LS92 is TTL compatible, ensuring reliable and high-speed performance in conjunction with other TTL-based digital circuits.
• High-Speed Operation: The counter operates with fast switching speeds and minimal propagation delay, making it suitable for time-sensitive applications.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates within a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, ensuring compatibility with various digital system configurations.
• DIP-16 Package: Housed in a DIP-16 package, the IC is easy to handle and integrates seamlessly into prototyping systems and PCB designs.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low power operation, suitable for energy-efficient designs and portable systems.
• Versatile Applications: Can be used in any system requiring specific frequency division, such as digital clocks, frequency synthesizers, or digital counters.

Applications:

• Frequency Division: The 74LS92 is commonly used in frequency division circuits, where it divides an input frequency by 12. This is useful in applications such as clock generation, signal processing, or digital communication.
• Digital Clocks: Often used in digital clocks to create a time base by dividing a high-frequency oscillator down to a specific frequency.
• Timers: Ideal for use in timing circuits where an input clock needs to be divided by a specific factor, such as generating pulse signals at precise intervals.
• Signal Generators: Used in signal generators to create frequencies for testing, measurement, and communication systems.
• Frequency Synthesizers: The 74LS92 is used in frequency synthesizers for creating a variety of frequency outputs by dividing a reference signal.
• Digital Counters: Can be used in digital counters that require division by a factor of 12, such as in event counting or interval measuring applications.
• Embedded Systems: Ideal for embedded systems that need a clock signal or timed frequency divided by a fixed ratio for operation or synchronization.

Package Included:

• 1 x 74LS92 Divide-By-12 Counter IC
