Working Principles

The CD4059AE is a synchronous binary counter that counts up from zero to its maximum value based on the clock pulses received. The counting process can be enabled or disabled using the Count Enable (CE) pin. The Master Reset (MR) pin allows resetting the counter to zero synchronously. The output pins (Q0-Q3) represent the binary count value.
