CD4017 – Decade Counter IC

Description

The CD4017 Decade Counter IC is a CMOS-based integrated circuit designed for sequential counting and decoding applications. It is a 10-stage Johnson counter capable of driving 10 output lines sequentially with every clock pulse, making it ideal for circuits requiring counting, timing, or sequencing. Widely used in electronics projects and industrial systems, it provides reliable performance and is easy to implement.

The IC operates over a wide voltage range (3V to 15V), ensuring compatibility with various digital and analog circuits. With low power consumption and high noise immunity, the CD4017 is perfect for applications such as LED chasers, frequency division, event counters, and more. Its standard DIP-16 package makes it easy to integrate into PCBs or breadboards.
