Product Description: CD4516 DIP Binary Up/Down Counter
The CD4516 DIP Binary Up/Down Counter is a CMOS-based integrated circuit designed to function as a 4-bit binary counter with the ability to count up or count down depending on the logic state of the up/down control input (U/D). It provides asynchronous counting with clear (reset) and enable functions, making it suitable for a wide range of counting and timing applications.
The CD4516 is a decade counter, meaning it can count from 0 to 15 (in binary). It can be configured to count up or down based on the state of the up/down control input (U/D). When the U/D input is set high, the counter increments (counts up), and when set low, it decrements (counts down).
The counter operates with an asynchronous clear input (CLR), which resets the count to 0 when activated, and an enable input (EN), which allows or inhibits counting based on the logic level at the enable pin.
This IC is designed to operate over a voltage range of 3V to 18V, making it suitable for both low-voltage and standard logic systems. The CD4516 comes in a DIP-16 package, allowing easy integration into breadboards, PCBs, and prototype designs.
Key Features:
- 4-Bit Binary Counter: The CD4516 is a 4-bit binary counter capable of counting from 0 to 15 (in binary).
- Up/Down Control: The counter can count either up or down, depending on the state of the up/down control input (U/D).
- Asynchronous Clear (CLR): The CLR input resets the counter to 0 when activated, providing a way to reset the count without affecting other parts of the system.
- Enable Input (EN): The enable input allows for enabling or disabling the counting function, enabling precise control over when the counter is active.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 3V to 18V, making it compatible with low-voltage and standard logic circuits.
- Low Power Consumption: Built with CMOS technology, the CD4516 ensures low power consumption, ideal for energy-efficient applications.
- High Noise Immunity: The IC offers high noise immunity, making it ideal for operation in environments with electrical noise.
- DIP-16 Package: The IC is available in a DIP-16 package, which is easy to integrate into breadboards, PCBs, and prototype designs.
- Simple Operation: The counter is straightforward to operate and can be easily integrated into any system requiring counting or timing functionality.
Applications:
- Digital Counters: The CD4516 is commonly used in digital counting applications such as digital clocks, timing circuits, and event counters.
- Frequency Division: The IC is ideal for use in frequency division circuits, where the counter can be used to divide the frequency of a clock signal for use in other parts of a system.
- Timer Circuits: It is perfect for use in timer circuits where precise counting and timing are required.
- Up/Down Counting Systems: The IC can be used in systems where the count direction needs to be controlled, such as in digital volume controls, position encoders, or bidirectional counters.
- Control Systems: In control systems, the CD4516 can be used for tracking events and counting cycles in a wide variety of applications, from industrial automation to consumer electronics.
- Embedded Systems: The IC is often used in microcontroller-based systems where the counting direction and ability to reset or enable counting are required for state machines, event tracking, or stepper motor control.
- Memory Addressing: It can be used in address decoding or memory addressing systems where the counter is used to generate sequential addresses or select memory locations in a digital system.
- Automated Testing Systems: The CD4516 is also suitable for automated test equipment, where accurate counting and the ability to switch between counting up and counting down are necessary.
