Additional Details

The MC10136FNR2 is a synchronous counter, meaning that all flip-flops change state simultaneously on the rising or falling edge of the clock pulse. The up/down counting mode is controlled by a dedicated input pin. An asynchronous Master Reset input allows for immediate clearing of the counter. The 'R2' suffix typically denotes tape and reel packaging for automated assembly. The 'FN' indicates a flatpack package designed for surface mounting. The counter is designed to interface seamlessly with other MECL 10,000 series logic devices. It operates from a -5.2V power supply, and its high-speed operation allows it to be used in demanding applications where counting speed is critical. The device provides both true and complement outputs for each of the four counter stages, further enhancing its versatility.
