Description
4026 IC is a 4000 series IC. It is a CMOS seven-segment counter IC and can be operated at very low power. It is a decade counter, counts in decimal digits (0-9). It is used to display numbers on seven segment displays and it increments the number by one when a clock pulse is applied to its PIN 1
Means more the clock pulse rate, faster the numbers change in 7 Segment Display. Below is the pin diagram and pin description of 4026 IC:
Features
- Counter for 7-Segment display
- Can drive a common cathode 7-Segment display directly
- Easy to interface with a timer or micron rollers (TTL compatible)
- Can be easily cascaded with more IC to display the higher range of number
- Maximum Clock Frequency: 6Mhz
Where to use CD4026 IC
The IC CD4026 is an IC which can perform the function of both a counter as well a 7-segment Driver. One single IC can be used to count form zero (0) to nine (9) directly on a Common Cathode type 7-segment display. The count can be increased by simply giving a high clock pulse; also more than one digit (0-9) can be created by cascading more than one CD4026 IC. So if you have a 7-segment (CC) display on which you have to display numbers that are being counted based on some condition then this IC will be a perfect choice.
