Make a counter

[victroy]

Hello

I would like to make a counter,but my professional knowledge is limited because I am just interesting in eletronic field. And I would like to ask that if CD4093( the CD4093 datasheet ) is suitable to make counter. I have several requests about my counter.

The power consumption is low while the supply voltage range is wide,Beside,good noise immunity and high package desity will be more willing. What’s more,I hope the counter has high fan-out capability.

Has any do such a counter? Could you give me some advice?

Thanks a lot.

Hey victory,

There's lots of resources out there that would help you get started. As for the CD4093... Counter Circuit | Digital Counter specifically names  it as a component for creating a counter circuit.

Otherwise:

Theory wise - http://www.learnabout-electronics.org/Digital/dig56.php

Counters in software - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-can-I-build-basic-counter-timer/m-p/2153482

Counters in NI hardware - I found the modules below can be used to generating counter signal: NI 9401 9402 9411 9421 9422 9423 9435 9472 9474 9481 9485

Hope this helps get you started.
