APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Each half of the MC54/74HC390A has independent

÷ 2

and

÷ 5 sections (except for the Reset function). The ÷ 2 and

÷ 5 counters can be connected to give BCD or bi–quinary

(2–5) count sequences. If Output QA is connected to the

Clock B input (Figure 4), a decade divider with BCD output is

obtained. The function table for the BCD count sequence is

given in Table 1.

To obtain a bi–quinary count sequence, the input signals

connected to the Clock B input, and output QD is connected

to the Clock A input (Figure 5). QA provides a 50% duty cycle

output. The bi–quinary count sequence function table is

given in Table 2.
