Abstract
A multi-bit binary counter outputs a predetermined binary number of bits reflecting a number of times of triggering an input pin, and providing a binary counter output having a decimal equivalent. A multi-bit binary counter is implemented as a multi-bit synchronous counter IC chip with a ripple carry-out pin and loading functionality. An active output count indication pin is connected to cause the IC to transition states, such as from a HIGH state to a LOW state, when the counter output's decimal equivalent exceeds single-digit numbers. In one configuration, the counter functions selectively as a MOD-10 (decade) or MOD-16 binary counter.
