Counters / Dividers

Counters and dividers are types of logic ICs that are used to count or divide a given input signal. Counters are digital circuits that can count the number of pulses or events that occur over a given period of time. Dividers, on the other hand, take a given input frequency and divide it by a specified amount to produce a new, lower frequency output. Both counters and dividers are commonly used in digital circuits to keep track of time or to divide a high-frequency clock signal into lower-frequency signals for use in other parts of the circuit.
