4026 IC Decade Counter/Divider (7 segment)

4026 IC Decade Counter/Divider (7 segment)The CD4026BE is a decade counter IC with a built-in 7-segment display driver, designed for counting applications and numerical display systems. It combines a Johnson decade counter with a 7-segment decoder/driver that directly interfaces with LED displays, making it ideal for projects that require numeric output without complex external circuitry.Each clock pulse advances the count by one, and the output is automatically decoded to drive a common cathode 7-segment display. This IC simplifies numeric display tasks in digital clocks, counters, frequency meters, and other embedded systems. It features a carry-out pin to cascade multiple ICs for multi-digit display applications.Key FeaturesIntegrated decade counter and 7-segment display driverDrives common cathode 7-segment LED displaysSupports cascading for multi-digit countingHigh noise immunity and low power consumptionWide supply voltage range (3V to 15V)Carry-out and disable display functionsEasy-to-use DIP-16 packagePin Configuration (DIP-16)PinLabelDescription1CO (Carry Out)Goes HIGH when count reaches 102CLK INHClock Inhibit (active HIGH)3CLKClock Input (rising edge triggered)4RSTReset Count (active HIGH)5DSegment D output6ESegment E output7CSegment C output8GNDGround                ‘9BSegment B output10FSegment F output11ASegment A output12GSegment G output13OUTNot connected or internal14DE (Disable)Disable Display (active HIGH)15VDDPositive Supply Voltage16Segment DPNot available (No decimal point driver)Product SpecificationsParameterValueIC TypeDecade Counter 7-Segment DriverLogic FamilyCMOSPackage TypeDIP-16Supply Voltage3V – 15VMax Output CurrentTypically 1-5 mA (depends on voltage)Input CompatibilityCMOS and TTLOperating Temperature-55°C to 125°CTypical ApplicationsCounters, timers, displaysApplicationsDigital countersFrequency displaysDigital clocksEvent countersScoreboardsNumeric output for embedded systemsDIY electronics and Arduino-based projects
