What are the key features of CD74HC40103E?

  • 8-stage presettable binary down counter with terminal count output (TCO) for cascading multiple counters in wider count sequences
  • Synchronous reset-to-max-count feature allowing instant reinitialization without glitch in time-critical control loops
  • Wide supply range of 2 V to 6 V covering both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems in HC/UH CMOS family

What is CD74HC40103E used for?

The CD74HC40103E is used in programmable timer circuits, frequency dividers, and event counting systems where a down-counting sequence with a preset terminal count is required. Its TCO output simplifies cascading for longer count chains, making it suitable for industrial control timers, motor step sequencers, and digital delay generators.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the CD74HC40103E configured for a 200-count programmable timer?

For a 200-count timer, two CD74HC40103E devices are cascaded: the first counts down 100 steps from the preset value, asserts its TCO output, which clocks the second device. Each handles an 8-bit (255-maximum) countdown, and the load/preset input initializes each stage. The terminal count output of the second stage signals the end of the 200-cycle sequence.

What supply voltage range does the CD74HC40103E support and which systems is it compatible with?

The CD74HC40103E operates across a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, making it compatible with both 3.3 V microcontroller-based systems and traditional 5 V TTL-level designs. This flexibility allows its use in mixed-voltage environments without level translation for standard HC-family input thresholds.

When does the reset-to-max-count feature of the CD74HC40103E improve system reliability?

The synchronous reset-to-max-count feature reloads the maximum 8-bit count value (255) in one clock cycle, preventing partial or glitchy count states during recovery from power transients or fault conditions. In safety-critical industrial timers, this ensures the countdown always restarts from a known 255-count state rather than an undefined intermediate value.
