Working Principles

The MC14541BCPG is a CMOS logic IC that functions as a digital counter/divider. It operates based on clock pulses received at the CP input. On each clock pulse, the counter advances by one count. The asynchronous Master Reset (MR) input allows for resetting the counter to its initial state.

The outputs (Q0-Q7) provide binary count information, allowing users to monitor the current count value. The Carry Out pin can be used to cascade multiple MC14541BCPG devices, creating larger counters/dividers. The Carry In pin is used to connect the carry output from the previous stage when cascading.
