cd4029 counter

[cliff85]

Hello all!

I need some help in getting my cd4029 counter to do what I want.
I'd like it to do a continuous count both forward and backward using ONLY 8 counts.
Can be 0000 to o111 or 0001 to 1000, but no recycling.
Would much appreciate any help on this.

Can be 0000 to o111 or 0001 to 1000, but no recycling.

I don't know what "recycling" is.

Is this what you want? 8 states, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc.
Counting; 000, 001,010,011, 100,101,110,111,000, 001,010,011, 100,101,110,111,000, 001,010,011, 100,101,110,111, Up
OR
Counting the same thing but backwards
Do not use the MSB!!!

Carry in = 0
PreSet = 0
J1-J4 = not used. Connect to 0.
Binary/Dec = 1

Maybe you want to count up like this:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,..........
Count down like this:
7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,.........

What does "no recyling" mean?

I am not doing the entire design for you, but it occurs to me that you want to preset the counter to 0001, and use the msb becoming 1 (1000) on the eighth clock to steer it back to 1 each time the msb becomes one.

Mike, counting 1 through 8 is just as good as 0 through 7. (from post #1)
The part counts 0 through 7 with out adding logic. Just, do not use the highest bit.

When counting up, it takes a three input AND or NAND to decode 0111 (to clear the counter on the next clock), but to detect 1000 doesn't need any logic. It is just as easy to preset the counter to 0001 as it is to clear it to 0000.

Thanks for all the input guys.
Recycling is when the count JUMPS from 1000 back to zero.
From 1000 I want the count to go to 0111,0110,0101,0100,0011,0010,0001, and then reverses
to 0010,0011,0100,etc.

For the 3 bit count from 000 to 111. It would be 000,001,010,011,etc to 111, then reverse again to 110
all the way back down again to 000. A continuous up & down counting of 8 with no recycling.
Hope this explains what I want.

You will have to add an external flip-flop which is used to change the direction of counting. That flip-flop is set to count up and cleared to count down. You will need to detect the two "turn-around" states (0000 and 0111 or 0001 and 1000) to alternatively set and clear the "direction" flip flop.

Thanks for that info Mike. That will help me a lot.
I already had the thing working good using 9 counts, but my project required 8
I was using a 74175 FF to change direction on the hi side using the MSB.
Was using the carry out for lo side.
So now I'll try using some gates to detect that 0001 for reversing the count.
Think I know how to do it now.
I tried using those jam inputs, but couldn't get them to work either.
