I have a binary counter which is the following : https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/mc14020b-d.pdf

enter image description here

I want to reset this counter with a signal. I want this signal to be the narrower, ie the length of the pulse to be minimum. But I have to verify that the narrower signal is still took into account by the counter. I imagine that the the length of the pulse cannot be as small as I want. There is a mention about "Reset pulse width" into the datasheet but I do not know if it is that data that I have to consider and if there are other parameters to consider. I do not want to take any risks

Here is a better binary counters : https://www.mouser.fr/datasheet/2/308/1/MC74HC4020A_D-2315492.pdf

enter image description here

The reset pulse width is lower as the reset recovery time compared to the MC14020B but what is strange is that the maximum input rise time is very large ? What does "Maximum input Rise and Fall times" ? Does I have to consider that my pulse needs to be superior to the reset pulse width + the reset recovery time + the rise/fall time ?

Have a nice day :)

When speed matters, you won’t want to use 4xxx family high voltage logic and choose a family with a lower maximum Vdd.

The reasons for this is that newer, much smaller channels, have lower breakdown voltage, lower capacitance, lower RdsOn like 50 ohms for 74HCxx vs ~300 to 3k ohms for 4xxx family (18V to 3V) which on the CMOS drivers work fine but slower.

In your case you want to consider the largest pulse width, & recovery time and also derate for case temperatures above 25’C where they run slower due to higher RdsOn.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Huh? Max rise time means slow on input, not output. That’s irrelevant \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ That's mean I must apply a signal faster than rise/fall time specified ? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ If you’re still concerned about speed , try the LV4060 which includes a clock rated for 100MHz @ 3V mouser.com/datasheet/2/916/74LV4060-1598056.pdf \$\endgroup\$
