What is a 4026 decade counter?
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 increment the number by one, when a clock pulse is applied to its PIN 1.
Which IC is used for counter?
A counter IC is an IC that can count externally input clock pulses. ABLIC's counter IC can read the counter data via the I2C-bus interface. This capability supports the development of a variety of measuring instruments, infrastructure meters, amusement devices, life counters, etc.
What is BCD counter?

A binary coded decimal (BCD) is a serial digital counter that counts ten digits . And it resets for every new clock input. As it can go through 10 unique combinations of output, it is also called as “Decade counter”. A BCD counter can count 0000, 0001, 0010, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1110, 1111, 0000, and 0001 and so on.
What is two digit counter?
Main principle of the 2 Digit Up Down Counter circuit is to increment the values on seven segment displays by pressing the button. When button 1 is pressed, the value on the display is incremented by one and when the other button is pressed, the value on the display is decremented by one
What does 4026 IC do?
The circuit can be used as a clock. In this circuit the counter will advance after one minute or after every one second depending on the value of resistor selected.
