The 'HC4024 is an asynchronous 7-stage binary counter designed with an input pulse-shaping circuit. The outputs of all stages are available externally. A high clear signal asynchronously clears the counter and resets all outputs low. The count is advanced on the high-to-low transition of the clock pulse. Applications include time-delay circuits, counter controls, and frequency-dividing circuits. The SN54HC4024 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74HC4024 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
