Frequently asked questions

What is the operating voltage range for these counters?

The devices operate with a supply voltage ranging from 3V to 15V.

Can the MM74C90 be used as a frequency divider?

Yes, a separate flip-flop on the A-bit enables operation as a divide-by-2, 5, or 10 frequency counter.

What is the minimum pulse width for reset inputs?

The minimum pulse width for R01 or R02 inputs at VCC=5V is 600 ns.
