CD4020 14-Stage Ripple Carry Binary Counter IC (DIP-16 Package)

Sitting alongside the 12-stage CD4040 already in the catalog, the CD4020 extends the same ripple-counting idea two stages further, dividing an input clock all the way down to 1/16384th of its original frequency across 14 cascaded outputs. That extra division depth matters for timing circuits or frequency dividers that need to reach a lower output frequency than the CD4040's 12 stages can provide without cascading a second chip.
