The 5497 is a synchronous 6-stage binary counter that outputs a pulse rate at a sub-multiple of the input frequency. The output pulse rate relative to the clock frequency is determined by signals applied to the Select (S0-S5) inputs. Both true and complement outputs are available, along with an enable input for each. A Count Enable input and a Terminal Count output are provided for cascading two or more packages. An asynchronous Master Reset input prevents counting and resets the counter.
