Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Dual synchronous BCD counter 74HC/HCT4518
FEATURES
• Output capability: standard
• ICC category: MSI
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT4518 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS
devices and are pin compatible with the “4518” of the
“4000B” series. They are specified in compliance with
JEDEC standard no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT4518 are dual 4-bit internally synchronous
BCD counters with an active HIGH clock input (nCP
0
) and
an active LOW clock input (nCP1), buffered outputs from
all four bit positions (nQ0 to nQ3) and an active HIGH
overriding asynchronous master reset input (nMR).
The counter advances on either the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of nCP0 if nCP1 is HIGH or the HIGH-to-LOW
transition of nCP1 if nCP0 is LOW. Either nCP0 or nCP
1
may be used as the clock input to the counter and the other
clock input may be used as a clock enable input. A HIGH
on nMR resets the counter (nQ0 to nQ3= LOW)
independent of nCP0 and nCP1.
APPLICATIONS
• Multistage synchronous counting
• Multistage asynchronous counting
• Frequency dividers

× fo) = sum of outputs
CL= output load capacitance in pF
VCC= supply voltage in V
