CD4017BE Decade Counter/Divider IC – Versatile Sequencing Logic

Description

The CD4017BE is a classic CMOS decade counter/divider IC that is a staple in digital electronics design. It functions as a 5-stage Johnson counter, converting a clock pulse input into ten decoded outputs (0 through 9). The outputs are sequential, meaning that for each incoming clock signal, one of the ten outputs goes high one after the other. This makes it exceptionally useful for light chasers, sequential controllers, frequency division, and simple state-machine applications.

Designed for robust performance, the CD4017BE operates over a wide supply voltage range and provides high noise immunity, typical of the CMOS 4000 series. Its DIP-16 through-hole package makes it ideal for breadboarding, prototyping, and educational projects. Whether you are building a LED sequencer, a digital clock, or a custom timing circuit, the CD4017BE provides a reliable and easy-to-use solution for your sequential logic needs.
