I'm playing around with a 4060 14bit Ripple counter. But alot of the 4000 series have a ÷SomeNumber outputs.
I know that if it is ÷16 for example that, that port puts out pulses(an equal low and high) at 1/16 of clock frequency. My question is this:
On a Ripple counter at least, does the pulse start at low or high? The reason I ask is because I notice it turns high at half of what you(or at least I) would expect the count to be. For example.
Q4 turns on at a count of 8 and off at 16 and then on again at 24 at off at 32.
Q5 on at 16 off at 32 on at 42 off at 64.
Is that start of all pulses actually at 0 master clock pulses? And then starting a new cycle(starting low) at their ÷ by number?
