The CD4026B consists of a 5-stage Johnson decade counter and an output decoder that converts the Johnson code to a 7-segment decoded output for driving one stage in a numerical display. The 7-segment outputs go high only when the DISPLAY ENABLE IN is high. The CARRY-OUT signal completes one cycle every ten CLOCK INPUT cycles, enabling multi-decade counting.
The 7-segment outputs are gated by the DISPLAY ENABLE IN signal. The UNGATED C SEGMENT output is always active regardless of display enable state.
