Binary counter/timer in a DIP — what it is and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated ICM7240IPE+ is a binary Counter/Timer Circuit (CTC) that counts from 1 to 255 at up to 15 MHz. It is a through-hole 16-DIP part (0.300" body, 7.62 mm pitch) that runs on a 2V to 16V supply and draws 700 µA typical.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The ICM7240IPE+ is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant. That means you can qualify it into a new BOM without worrying about a surprise EOL next quarter.
Package note for the bench
16-DIP (0.300" body, 7.62 mm pitch) through-hole. The DIP body has low thermal mass; a standard soldering iron will lift the part cleanly without cooking the board.
