In the vast landscape of digital integrated circuits, few components have achieved the legendary status of the . Introduced as part of the 4000-series CMOS logic family, the 4017 is a decade counter with integrated 10-output decoding. A careful reading of its datasheet reveals not just a collection of electrical specifications, but a blueprint for sequential logic that has powered countless LED chasers, sequencers, and timing circuits for over five decades.

With an RC network on the clock input, the 4017 can cleanly register mechanical switch presses.

The CD4017 is a high-speed CMOS decade counter/divider renowned for its versatility in low-range counting applications. Often referred to as a , it features ten decoded outputs that activate sequentially with each rising edge of a clock signal. Core Technical Specifications
