Applications
The CD74HC4520M96G4 is commonly used in frequency division, event counting, and timing circuits within industrial automation controllers, digital instrumentation, and embedded microprocessor support logic operating at 3.3V or 5V supply rails. Its dual counter architecture allows cascading to build 8-bit or wider counters, enabling address generation and sequencing in FPGA peripheral designs. The negative-edge trigger option also makes it suitable for down-stream decode logic in state machine and communication protocol implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many independent counter channels does the CD74HC4520M96G4 provide, and what is each counter's bit width?
The CD74HC4520M96G4 contains 2 independent 4-bit binary up-counter channels in a single 16-pin package. Each channel counts from 0 to 15 (decimal) and can be cascaded with the other channel's carry output to form an 8-bit counter, reaching counts up to 255. This cascading capability eliminates the need for a second IC in many event counting and frequency division applications.
Can the CD74HC4520M96G4 count on falling clock edges, and how is that configured?
Yes, the CD74HC4520M96G4 supports negative edge triggering in addition to the default positive edge mode. Triggering mode is selected by which clock input pin is driven — using the CP0 pin triggers on positive edges while the CP1 pin enables negative-edge counting. This dual-trigger flexibility, noted in the datasheet as a key additional feature, is valuable when interfacing with inverted clock signals in mixed-logic systems.
What supply voltage range does the CD74HC4520M96G4 support, and does it work with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems?
The CD74HC4520M96G4 operates from 2V to 6V supply voltage, covering both 3.3V and 5V logic systems without level shifting. The HC family logic thresholds scale with supply voltage, so the device interfaces directly with 3.3V LVCMOS systems as well as legacy 5V TTL circuits. At 50 pF load capacitance, it drives standard PCB trace loads reliably at both voltage levels.
What reel size does the CD74HC4520M96G4 tape-and-reel packaging contain, and why does that matter for production planning?
The 'M96' suffix in CD74HC4520M96G4 indicates a 96-unit tape-and-reel format, which is a smaller reel compared to standard 2500-unit reels. This smaller quantity is practical for prototype builds and medium-volume production runs where full 2500-unit reels would result in excess inventory. Automated pick-and-place machines handle the 16-pin SOIC tape format without any special tooling changes.
