4026 / CD4026 Logic IC Decade Counter / Divider, DIP-16

100% tested for quiescent current at 20 V
Fully static operation
Medium speed operation...10 MHz (typ.) at VDD = 10 V

Standardized, symmetrical output characteristics

CD4026 is a decade counter which consists of a 5-stage Johnson decade counter. It has an output decoder which converts the Johnson output to 7-segment decoder output. It drives 1 stage (0-9) numeric count directly to a common cathode 7 segment display. Increasing the count as simple with CD4026 IC as by giving a high clock pulse. Displaying multiple digits is also possible by cascading more than 1 CD4026 IC. It comes in standard 16-pin PDIP.
