Dual decade ripple counter
Rev. 5 — 18 October 2021
Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC390; 74HCT390 is a dual 4-bit decade ripple counter divided into four separately clocked sections. The counters have two divide-by-2 sections and two divide-by-5 sections. These sections share an asynchronous master reset input (nMR) and can be used in a BCD decade or bi-quinary configuration. If master reset inputs (1MR and 2MR) are used to simultaneously clear all 8 bits of the counter, a number of counting configurations are possible within one package. The separate clocks (nCP0 and nCP1) of each section allow ripple counter or frequency division applications of divide-by-2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 or 100.
