Digital Counter CD4017BE

Digital counters are commonly used in digital circuits that need to make use of a high-level output for one full clock cycle. This specific digital counter has 10 output pins that each gives a high output after the previous pin switches to a low output. Below is a time diagram that shows the output signals on the various pins as the clock counts up.
