5-bit divide-by-N counter with asynchronous reset
The CD4018BM96 is a 5-bit divide-by-N counter from the 4000B series, triggered on the positive edge of the clock. Its asynchronous reset clears the counter immediately, independent of the clock — useful for power-on reset or emergency stop in a divider chain where you need the output to go to zero without waiting for the next clock edge.
The supplier device package is 16-SOIC, so the land pattern matches any generic SOIC-16 layout. The 3 V to 18 V supply range means it can run off a 5 V rail, a 12 V industrial bus, or a battery stack without a regulator — the 4000B series logic levels track the supply, so the input thresholds scale with VDD.
