Hello, I am working with a little project wich use a preselect counter.
Someone told me that when the power is supplied, you never know exactly at wich sequence the counter will start to count, so in practice the probability it start from 0000 is never 100%, so if it is true I need to work on the Master Reset of this counter, which is the 40163.
So I thinked to use a RC as this:
where "Analog Out" is the output to the Master Reset Input, which is activated with a logic 0.
With this configuration, changing the value to 10uF for the capacitor, when power is supplied, in 0.5 second the logic state of the output change from 0 to +.
I am not sure if it is ok to start the counter from 0000. Is it?
Thank You for your suggestion.
