Frequently Asked Questions
How many counter stages are accessible on the CD74HC4020M96G4?
The CD74HC4020M96G4 contains 14 binary ripple counter stages internally, with 12 of those stages having externally accessible output pins. Stages Q1 and Q11 are not brought out to external pins, providing frequency division ratios from divide-by-4 (Q2) up to divide-by-16384 (Q14) available at the output pins.
What is the maximum clock frequency of the CD74HC4020M96G4?
The CD74HC4020M96G4 can operate at clock frequencies up to 20 MHz with a 5V supply at room temperature in the high-speed CMOS HC family. The maximum operating frequency decreases at lower supply voltages and higher temperatures, so consult the datasheet timing tables for operation at 2V to 3.3V supply conditions.
What does the M96 suffix mean in CD74HC4020M96G4?
The M96 suffix indicates a 16-pin SOP package supplied on a large (96 mm wide) reel tape-and-reel format optimized for high-volume SMT production lines. The G4 suffix confirms the part is RoHS compliant (JESD-609 e4 code), making it suitable for green manufacturing environments.
Does the CD74HC4020M96G4 have a reset or clear function?
Yes, the CD74HC4020M96G4 has an active-high direct clear (MR) input pin. When MR is driven high, all counter outputs are immediately reset to zero regardless of the clock state. This allows deterministic initialization of the counter chain at power-up or on demand from a controller GPIO signal.
