CD4526 belongs to the 4000 Series CMOS Logic Family of Integrated Circuits (IC’s) constructed with N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors. CD4526 has Divide-by-N Counter
CD4526 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.

CD4526 Features
- supply Voltage Range = 3.0 Vdc to 18 Vdc
- Logic Edge−Clocked Design: Incremented on Positive Transition of Clock or Negative Transition of Inhibit
- Asynchronous Preset Enable
- Capable of Driving Two Low−Power TTL Loads or One Low−Power Schottky TTL Load Over the Rated Temperature Range
