Product Description: CD4520 SOP Dual 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter
The CD4520 SOP Dual 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter is a CMOS integrated circuit that contains two independent 4-bit binary counters. Each counter is capable of counting in binary from 0 to 15 (for a total of 16 states), and can be used in synchronous counting applications. In synchronous operation, all flip-flops within the counter are clocked simultaneously, meaning that the outputs change in a controlled manner on each clock cycle, ensuring precise timing in digital systems.
The CD4520 features synchronous reset functionality, which allows both counters to be reset to zero in a single action, making it easy to initialize or clear the counters. The carry-out function of the IC allows for cascading multiple CD4520 ICs to create larger binary counters for multi-bit counting systems or digital counting circuits. The SOP package makes it ideal for surface-mount applications in space-constrained and high-density PCB designs.
With CMOS technology, the CD4520 offers low power consumption, high-speed operation, and excellent noise immunity, making it suitable for digital systems where precise binary counting is required.
