TTL-series 7492 1:12 counter
Circuit Description
This applet shows the internal structure of the
TTL-series 7492 1:12 counter integrated circuit.
The counter consists of two separate stages
of a single JK-flipflop (1:2) and
three JK-flipflops (1:6, asynchronous).
The reset inputs (R01 and R02) are shared by all flipflops.
For the full 1:12 counter,
the output of the first stage QA
is connected to the clock input nB
of the 1:6 counter stage.
Note the counting sequence 0,1,2,4,5,6 of the 1:6 counter.
This was probably preferred over the 0,1,2,3,4,5 sequence
due to its cheaper implementation
(note that no additional gates are required in front of the JK-flipflops).
