Hacks of Electronics
In this article you will learn how to make an LED chaser circuit using 555 timer IC and CD4017 counter IC. An LED chaser circuit is a simple electronic circuit that creates a sequential chasing effect by illuminating a series of LEDs one after the other. It is a popular project for hobbyists and electronics […]
CD4029 is a Synchronous, Programmable, Presettable, 4 Bit Up/Down & Binary/Decade counter which is very much similar to the IC 74193, However, there is one notable change between IC74193 and CD4029: CD4029 has one unique pin that determines its counter configuration for Binary and BCD counter mode, allowing the IC to count similarly to binary […]
IC74163 Integrated Presettable Synchronous 4-bit Modulo-16 Up counter. The IC is a synchronous counter as all 4 flip-flops are integrated into the same chip & they receive the same clock pulse (clock signal). The IC74163 is a completely programmable binary counter due to its four preset inputs, which allow it to begin counting with any […]
IC 74193 is a 4-bit presettable synchronous MODULO-16 Up/Down binary counter IC. IC74193 has two separate clock input pins to count up and count down, the output is synchronous with the clock inputs. The separate Terminal Count Up & Terminal Count Down are provided which is useful for designing higher counter or cascading the IC74193. The […]
Optoisolators and Optocoupler sound very similar and they are the same in terms of workings and other features let’s see what are optoisolators and optocoupler. There are some differences due to which they are given different names. Photocoupler is another name of the optocoupler. An optocoupler or photocoupler and an optoisolator are semiconductor devices that […]
In this article, we will see 74160 IC you can see 74160 BCD Counter Circuit Diagram. It is a 16 pin BCD counter with a feature of count loading means it is presettable. That means if you want you can count from anywhere between 0 to 9. It is a positive edge triggered IC. Pin […]
