CD4017 Pin Configuration
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
| 1 to 7 and 9,10,11 | Output pins Q0 to Q9 | These are the 10 output pins on which the counting occurs, they are not in order hence verify pin diagram above |
| 8 | Vss or Ground | Connected to the Ground of the circuit |
| 12 | Carry Out (CO) | This pin goes high after the IC counts from 1 to 10. This is used as carry while counting. |
| 13 | Clock Enable (EN) | This is an input which when made high will hold the count at the current state |
| 14 | Clock | The counting happens when this clock pulse goes high , this pin is normally connected to 555 timer or other uC to produce a pulse |
| 15 | Resets | As the name suggests this pin resets the count back to 1 |
| 16 | Vdd / Vcc | Connects to the supply voltage typically +5V |

Where to use CD4017 IC
The IC CD4017 is used for counting applications, it has the capability to turn on 10 outputs sequentially in a pre-defined time and reset the count or hold it when required. It also has the capability to indicate the status of counting using Carry pin. This is commonly used for Led chasers and other logical output projects, so if you are looking for an sequential decoded counting IC that can count up to 10 then this IC will be your right choice
How to use a CD4017 IC
The IC can work from 3V to 15V, but normally powered with +5V to the Vdd/Vcc pin and the Ground/Vss pin is connected to ground. We have 10 output pins ranging from Q0 to Q9, these pins can be connected to any load but we are using LEDs here as shown in the circuit below.
This IC will increment the count from 0 to 9 (Q0 to Q9) each time it senses a high pulse from the clock pin (pin 14). So we need a clock source to keep this IC ticking, this clock source can be a simple Timer circuit that could generate pulse or a microcontroller like Arduino, PIC etc to generate our custom pulse using I/O pins.
