AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a BCD counter IC that supports separate up and down counting clock signals, specifically mentioning the 74LS192, which is currently available. Alternatives like the 74C192, 40192, and 40110 are suggested, though the 40110 does not provide BCD counting. Participants recommend checking local suppliers for stock and considering microcontrollers as a flexible solution for counting functions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right IC based on project requirements. Overall, the thread highlights various options and encourages exploring both ICs and microcontrollers for counting applications.

hi,

I wish to design BCD up and down counter circuit for my mini project. I planned to use IC 74LS192. Unfortunately i can't able to get this IC. There is any BCD counter ICs are available with separate up and down counting clock signals. Because i got some ICs for up and down counting which uses only one clock pulse. but i need an IC with two separate clock signals for up and down counting.

Thanks in advance.

The 74LS192 is still current and readily available.

Depends on where you are though.

There are variations on the 192 such as the 74C192, 40192, 74HC192.

If your suppliers have limited stocks, maybe you could find out which counters they have and research those ones.

Another chip that does up-down counting is the 40110.
This does not do BCD counting. It has direct drive for a 7 segment display, so it is easier to use if you want this type of display.
Here is a description of this IC:

and here is a datasheet for it.:

hi vk6kro,

Thanks for your quick reply vk6kro. I will collect the details about the ICs which you have mentioned...:)
 
vrajasekaran,

I don't know what type of project you are doing, but if Up/Down counting is merely a function of the larger project, you may want to consider a uController. A $3 uController and a bit of code can do amazing things. Popular choices include the AVR family and the PIC family.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far.
