1. General description
The 74HC4040; 74HCT4040 is a 12-stage binary ripple counter with a clock input (CP), an
overriding asynchronous master reset input (MR) and twelve parallel outputs (Q0 to Q11). The
counter advances on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of CP. A HIGH on MR clears all counter stages
and forces all outputs LOW, independent of the state of CP. Each counter stage is a static toggle
flip-flop. Inputs include clamp diodes that enable the use of current limiting resistors to interface
inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.
