Brief About 7490 IC

74LS90 is basically a MOD-10 decade counter that generate a BCD output code. It consists of four master-slave JK flip-flop, which are internally connected to provide MOD-2 (count to 2) counter and MOD-5 counter. 74LS90 also have an independent toggle JK flip-flop by CLKA and other three are driven by the CLKB.

How to Use Decade Counter IC?

The below circuit diagram is for BCD decade counter, by giving HIGH and LOW logic to the CLKA pin, IC start counts from zero to 8 at every HIGH logic. If you want to display the number on a 7-segment display you need a seven segment display driver IC.
