Please log in for more thread options series of configurations, only I can't seem to be able to get it to *count*. I have pin 16 connected to +5V, the clock running off of the Q output of a 4027 J/K flip-flop, pin 13 (clock enable) hooked to +5V, and pin 7 (decoded 3 output) set to hit pin 15 (reset) with a logic 1 when the device counts that high. Only it doesn't count. If I unhook pin 7/15 then pin 3 (decoded 0) goes high and stays there. Hook pin 7/15 back up, and the device seems to go dead. Pin 3 (decoded 0) never goes high again. At my wit's end. Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Have replaced the chip 3 times, with no differing result. Oh, and pin 8 is grounded. Would love for someone to point out just how dumb I am at this point... Thanks, Dave | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options The MC14017 datasheet I'm looking at says that pin 13 is an active low clock enable. Assuming that this is correct, you need to tie pin 13 low to enable its clock. Bob -- == All google group posts are automatically deleted due to spam == | ||||||||||||||||

When the decode 3 output is connected to the reset, it stays high only as long as it takes for the reset to propagate through the chip. Are you able to see a fraction of a microsecond high on pin 7 with the equipment you are using? What do you connect to pin 15 when pin 7 is not connected to it? -- Regards, John Popelish | ||||||||||||||||

And the problem was my method of "enabling" the clock. Please see my reply to BobW. Thanks though. Take it easy... Dave | ||||||||||||||||
