What is the function of a decade counter?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. It produces one output pulse for every 10 input pulses
A decade counter counts ten input pulses and then produces one output pulse, dividing by 10. Decoding numbers for a seven-segment display is a different job done by a decoder.
Tip: Decade = 10 in, 1 out.
