Counters Using IC
Similarly, we can design one MOD-14 counter, in which state 14
(Q3Q2Q1Q0=1110) is clear. While this IC just has two inputs (MR1 and
MR2) for clearing to recount. Thus, we need to use one more AND gate,
the output of this AND connected to MR1 and Q3 is connected to MR2
as shown in figure.
This counting circuit is also called frequency division, particularly 14
clock pulse cycles (fin=14 Hz) produces 1 clock pulse cycle (f0=1 Hz) at
the Q3 output. Another example is that the input frequency fin=14 KHz,
its output is f0=714 Hz.
f 10 kHz / 14 714 Hz

Counters Using IC
In this example, we design one MOD-60 counter using 2 ICs, in which 1
IC is used for counting MOD-6 and another one is to count MOD-10 as
shown in figure. Thus, IC2 (MOD-6) will count from 0 to 5 and state 6 is
clear. While IC1 is used to count MOD-10 and count from 0 to 9 and
state 10 is clear. Thus, the counting operation is that after 10 clock
pulses of IC1 input, having one clock pulse at Q3 connected to CP1 of
IC2; IC1 recounts another MOD-10 etc. until number 59 and one final
clock pulse (60) will be clear the whole MOD-60 counter.
