I made new schematic for 4017 16 step sequencer. So i need to include a feature so i can reset it at 2,4,8 stages of 1st 4017 via a rotary switch.
So...to reset it for 2 stages...i connected pin4 to reset via switch...ect. My question is this...at the same time as it resets from pin4 it is connected to output...soo will it reset normaly or reset and activate pin4 output at the same time? What the result will be? Do i need to reset it one pin below? Here is the schem.
I happen to have been playing around with a 4017 a week or two ago. When you tie one of the outputs to Reset, obviously the output will go on just as BC109C said (it has to, how else would it trigger the reset?), but the reset reacts so fast that the resulting pulse is
extremely small. So small that I could barely get my oscilloscope to trigger on it.
I think what you are asking is this: if, say, output 4 is tied to Reset, will output 4 stay on for a full cycle, or does the reset occur immediately? No, it will not leave output 4 on for its full cycle, the reset happens immediately and output 4 will turn off as soon as the reset is detected.
