16-bit equivalent of the 4017 IC?
I am looking for a counter that counts to 16 or higher that only has one pin high at a time in order to drive an LED dot matrix.
Thanks

Put two 8-bits together.
I know I could do this, but I would really like to know if there is a single IC that can. The reasons for this are saving space, money, and coding complication, among others.
4514 will give you 16 outputs http://www.jaycar.com.au/images_uploaded/CD4514BC.PDF
Any small microcontroller should be able to do this on a single IC.
This is better, but I want to feed a clock into it and so I would have to use a 4029 as well.Originally Posted by rogs
It should, but I'd rather have specific ICs, than have to program a microcontroller.
