Difference Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Counters

Counters are fundamental digital circuits used in sequential logic for counting purposes. They are broadly classified into two types: Synchronous Counters and Asynchronous Counters. Understanding the difference between synchronous and asynchronous counters helps in choosing the right type for specific applications in digital electronics. These counters play a crucial role in modern digital systems, ranging […]

CD4029 Binary/Decade and UP/Down Counter Explained

CD4029 is a Synchronous, Programmable, Presettable, 4 Bit Up/Down & Binary/Decade counter which is very much similar to the IC 74193, However, there is one notable change between IC74193 and CD4029: CD4029 has one unique pin that determines its counter configuration for Binary and BCD counter mode, allowing the IC to count similarly to binary […]
