Synchronous Down Counter, CD40103BE, Texas Instruments

The CD40103BE consists of an 8-stage synchronous down counter with a single output which is active when the internal count is zero. The CD40103BE is configured as two cascaded 4-bit BCD counters, and the CD40103BE contains a single 8-bit binary counter. Each type has a control input for enabling or disabling the clock, for clearing the counter to its maximum count, and for presetting the counter either synchronously or asynchronously. The control input and the CARRY-OUT/ZERO-DEFECT output are active-low logic. In normal operation, the counter is decremented by one count on each positive transition of the CLOCK. Counting is inhibited when the CARRY-IN/COUNTER ENABLE (CI/CE)\ input is high. The CARRY-OUT/ZERO-DEFECT (CO/ZD)\ output goes low when the count reaches zero if the CI/CE\ input is low, and remains low for one full clock period.
