<DIV><SPAN class=723503603-17092021></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=723503603-17092021>I've got a device that uses a 4024 ripple
counter. The datasheet says that it advances on the negative transition of
the clock. All mine (CD4024BE) are advancing on the positive transition of
the clock. However, I tried an MC14024BCP and it worked
properly.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=723503603-17092021></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=723503603-17092021>Am I smoking crack? Why are my CD4024s
behaving opposite to the datasheet, but the MC14024 is behaving as per the
datasheet? What is it that I don't know about these devices?</SPAN></DIV>
