Hi,
I built A project 1 GHz Counter but i have problem as an Err appear on the display and if I remove SAB6456 Ic the zero will display and if i touch R2 pin a different figure be showed, what the issue? please 

Check the connections: Make sure that all of the connections are correct and secure. Double-check that the SAB6456 IC is inserted correctly.

Check the power supply: Ensure that the power supply is supplying the correct voltage and current required for the project.

Check the components: Check that all of the components are the correct values and are not damaged.

Check the circuit design: Ensure that the circuit design is correct and matches the schematic.

Check for any short circuits: Check that there are no short circuits between any of the components.

Check the code: Ensure that the code is correct and free of errors.

Hello!

Thanks for the advice. I have bought a U813 BS SI and now the counter is working properly. I need to change the display still does not work because of the DP. Thanks again for the instructions. I wish all users a Merry Christmas.

The U664B divides by 64 but you need a prescaler of 256 (like SAB6456 or U813BS).

Alternatively you may use U664B but there must be another divider by 4 present on the PIC input (this may be based on some 74xx logic circuit). This will result in total division by 256.

I have checked my counter: broken prescaler, not divides by 256
dp-led defective in the display.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check everything again and sign up again. Thank you!
There may be at my age - I'm 63 (lol)

The input signal frequency needs to be divided by 256.
The DP is hard-wired so you have probably a mistake in the display connection.

Hello,
I translate my text through Google, because my English is very bad.
I built the counter and have the following problem. The prescaler, a SIP U664B divides the frequency by 64 clean 446MHz input has on the PIN3 16F84 a frequency of 6.9668 MHz, so OK.
The indicator on the display is 1445 but without Dp. At a frequency of about 108MHz is on the display 4817, and the input frequency in the PIC is 1.6875MHz. Without prescaler, the display shows the 00th What is wrong and who can help me?

Thanks Hartmut

It probably works ok. The prescaller IC oscillates with no signal connected (see its datasheet). If it oscillates above 1 GHz, the "Err" is indicated. Feed a correct signal.
