Asynchronous Frequency Divider and Ripple Counter

The CD4020BCM integrates fourteen cascaded ripple-carry stages within a space-saving 16-pin surface mount SOIC footprint to deliver precise multi-bit counting. This semiconductor component reacts directly to negative-edge clock pulses, ensuring that each internal binary transition happens sequentially down the line without overriding parallel logic pathways. A dedicated overriding clear input operates independently of the clock signal, returning the output registers back to zero for crisp system initializations. Rated for a wide DC supply voltage span from 3 V to 15 V, this device operates reliably within harsh operational temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C. Systems technicians deploy the CD4020BCM to handle clock distribution networks, pattern generators, and stable signal processing sub-assemblies. Request a quote for CD4020BCM.
