Re: Using Counter IC

Hi,

(maybe you just want to remember the current
count?).
Yes.

Are you saying that you might want to maintain a
total count of output pulses???
No.

I am working on circuit which includes a 4 bit counter 74ACt161 and
will be giving the pulses (from electronic timer, each pulse will have
a offtime of 99hrs an ontime of 1 sec) to its clock. I will be building
a logic at its output bits to give a high after i get 5 pulses. I am
using a battery(non-rechargeble) to give supply to the counter in case
of power failure. The electronic timer also stops giving pulses when
power is not present. The counter will retain the pulse count as the
power for the same is provided by the Battery.
I have also found a PIC12F629 (8 bit microcontroller), this has a brown
out detect, internal eeprom, 1 comparator, 8 bit timer, internal
oscillator and it has in-circuit programming.
I hope above things work out soon.
Thanks for the help, if there is anything wrong in the above please
point out..
Thanks again.
Nick.
