Need 32 bit counter

Can you provide some additional information?

What is the clock speed you need to count?

Do you need to be able to reset or preset a value to the counter?

How do you want to read the counter?

How will you indicate to the counter to latch its current value?

hey thanx 4 replying..

actually i have clock signal with some MHz around 4 to 10MHz.i want to read its rising edges.. so at every rising edge the counter should get increment..

and after that whenever i want to know the no of edges come, the counter value can gives me that information.. n ya i want the reset in that..

so can you suggest me any ic for my application??

Thank you

We don't have any single IC's which are 32 bit counters.  However, you could use an MSP430 to count the edges using one of its timers and then create a full 32 bit representation of the count value to present on I/O pins.  Otherwise you would need to use 4 8 bit counters hooked up together.  Is this purely hardware or is there a processor controlling this circuit?
