CD4017 belongs to the 4000 Series CMOS Logic Family of Integrated Circuits (IC’s) constructed with N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors. CD4017 has Decade Counter/Divider
CD4017 has a supply voltage range of 5V to 20V, which is much higher than any contemporary logic family. It has buffered output which improves transfer characteristics by providing very high gain. All inputs are protected against static discharge with diodes to VDD and VSS.

CD4017 Features
- Wide supply voltage range 3.0V to 15V
- High noise immunity = 0.45 VDD (typ.)
- Low power Fan out of 2 driving 74L
- TTL compatibility or 1 driving 74LS
- Medium speed operation 5.0 MHz (typ.) with 10V VDD
- Low power 10 mW (typ.)
