How Decade Counters Work - The Learning Circuit

In this video, Karen teaches how decade counters work. They are integrated circuits that use logic gates, flip flops, and a clock signal to cascade a high output signal across ten outputs. Decade counters typically may count in one of three binary methods, decade, BCD, or bi-inquiry. They can be used to control 7-segment displays, an array of LEDs, and more. Follow along as Karen explains all of these concepts and the internal workings of decade counters: bit.ly/3h5IF5s

I really love the way Decade counters are explained in this video. I watched other videos and, it seems as if they wanted to make it sound more complicated than it really is. This video is easy to understand, and goes to the key points. Excellent! Well done!

[@blackBird5869]

The students are very lucky to have such a genius teacher like you.

[@williesolomon614]

Very clear explanation. Thank you Karen.

[@dmeemd7787]

You do a great job of explaining these things, when I hear of a chip or a different type of counter, etc. etc. that I haven't used before, I'm able to dive into that data sheet and see what I can do with it or see what I can supplement in my circuits and so on and so forth. Great channel! One can truly never learn and relearn enough :-) that's my opinion anyway 😁😊 Also, the way you put your videos together and to make a lot more light bulbs go off than a lot of other channel to come across even on just basic fundamentals of chips and how they work regardless of how much one feels they know about the chip, you always add a little more to it and it's great stuff, I have a feeling that a lot of people have gotten involved in something they didn't think they could do, electronics, because of your Channel, which is really awesome so I just wanted to add that. Take care and be safe!

Great video Karen!

Nice explanation Karen!

[@raoufallani5142]

Thank you so much great work

[@SouthwestIndustrialElectric]

Now we know! Awesome share.

Bravo to be continued.......

Hello Karen mem i m from india ,i m a big fan of your teaching and also skill ,i m very happy my lockdown day very productive bcoz of you. love you mem.

As Spock used to say - "Fascinating captain!!" Something from eons past in my life, brought up the decade counter animation. I miss the 4017's we used to work with :(

[@MrCardeso]

Thanks, Karen!

[@michealmyers4515]

Is her name really Karen or were you mocking her?

[@MrCardeso]

@@michealmyers4515 That is one stupid meme! Her name is Karen Corbeill.

Hi everyone today I would like to share my story I am a student of DAE Mechanical engineer last year I got supply in electronics subject then I search on KZbin and there I found element 14 I watched all the videos of miss Karen and in the coming exam I got 80% marks without reading or opening my book just only I watch all the videos of teacher Karen and I got 80% marks that's it

[@maker_karen1785]

That's amazing to hear. Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your story.

My first few projects used the 555 and 4017 in various combinations such as a light flasher and a metronome.

[@dmeemd7787]

That's really a good place to start because if you know how to set up a 555 in monostable, a stable and the classic pulse-width modulation, you can do tons of stuff with tons of chips without using an Arduino and so on and you'll learn a whole lot more in the process :-) some of the best learning books that I came across years and years ago where the - Engineers mini notebook, by Forrest Mimms III -- yes books dedicated to the 555, basic semiconductor circuit, digital logic, operational amplifiers, you name it and you can find them online for free in PDF form, they are truly priceless as far as the circuit he has in there, especially when you understand them years later I'll open a PDF for one of the hard copies it was given to me and things will still click so I strongly recommend looking into those oh, the guy is a genius and there's even ones on radio transmission where you can make little am transmitters and FM transmitters all that stuff made in a way that's not overwhelming. Take care!

Hi Karen 👍

Hello

~CE is Chip Enable, not Clock Enable.

[@maker_karen1785]

I've read a lot of datasheets in researching for these episodes. In every case with a pin labelled CE that pin was referred to as Clock Enable or Clock inhibit, never Chip Enable. Do you have a part number in which the Datasheet refers to see CE as Chip Enable? I would appreciate seeing a reference so I can use it in the future.

[@Hacker-at-Large]

Maker_Karen RAM most notably (www.alliancememory.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/AS6C62256.pdf) and every memory device I’ve ever seen. TI uses ~CI (Clock Inhibit) on some of their counters (www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/cd4017b.pdf). ~CS (Chip Select) is also common. It’s certainly possible you found a variation, and it seems to have pretty much the same effect, it’s just not the norm. They all seem to be active-low and enable the operation of the chip.

[@user-vo6yr8rf4c]

No it's definitely clock enable. 'Chip enable' doesn't make any sense for this cd4017 ic. When pin 13 is grounded, clock signal is enabled & vice versa. It has nothing to do with enabling or disabling the chip. Just you have seen CE as chip enable in one ic's datasheet doesn't necessarily mean..........
