CD4026BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4026BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD4026BE can handle?
  The CD4026BE can handle clock frequencies up to 10 MHz.
• How do I reset the counter?
  The CD4026BE has an asynchronous reset input (R) that can be used to reset the counter. When the reset input is low, the counter is reset to zero.
• What is the maximum count value of the CD4026BE?
  The CD4026BE is a 4-bit binary counter, which means it can count up to 15 (2^4 - 1).
• Can I use the CD4026BE as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the CD4026BE can be used as a frequency divider. By connecting the clock input to the output of a previous stage, you can divide the frequency by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
• How do I cascade multiple CD4026BE counters?
  To cascade multiple CD4026BE counters, connect the carry-out (CO) output of one counter to the clock input of the next counter. This allows you to create a larger counter with more bits.
