# Industrial Specification: Counting Register

## 1. Technical Definition
A digital storage component within a counter/quota tracker that holds and updates the current count value.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-65535 counts at 5V TTL logic levels, 0-4.75V input voltage range**. Failure boundary: **Input voltage exceeding 5.5V causes CMOS latch-up at 1.5mA parasitic current**, Mechanism: **Electrostatic discharge-induced parasitic thyristor activation in CMOS structure, creating low-impedance path between power rails**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Clock signal jitter exceeding 15% of 10MHz period | 8 | Metastable state causing incorrect count increment/decrement | Dual-rank synchronizer with 2.5ns setup time margin |
| Alpha particle strike depositing 1.2pC charge in storage node | 8 | Single-event upset flipping stored bit from 0 to 1 | Triple modular redundancy with 2-out-of-3 voting logic |
