I'm new to this forum, sorry my english is not so good, just use a translator, and my knowledge about circuits and electronics is very low,
Here I want to ask for help from fellow forumers

Please help regarding the decade counter

For example clock input from ic555 t-on 30% and t-off 70%. see the example in the picture
Ic 555 clock wave.png
If using ic4017 decade counter and activate 3 outputs, ouput from ic4017 such as A1, A2, A3


What is the easiest way to get outputs like B1, B2, B3, which only follows the T-on clock input

Hope fellow forumers can help me

You could use an AND gate connected to the clock and each of the FF outputs.
Thanks crutschow, my knowledge about circuits and electronics is very low,

can you give a sample or diagram of how the AND gate is connected to the clock and each of the FF outputs.

You just need one two-input AND for each FF with one of each of the inputs connected to each FF output.
The other inputs of all the AND gates are all connected to the clock signal.

Sorry if i make mistake, like this picture,

I think not work

Maybe I misunderstood the info you gave, especially the abbreviation "FF" output, I got more guidance from another forum, you mean like the diagram below

I think it would work well.

Thanks crutschow for the feedback given

I think my problem is solved.

I update for reference, After searching for AND gates using transistors,

#AND Gate using transistor.png

By using an NPN transistor as an AND gate, the voltage and Ampere ouput B1, B2, B3 can be controlled higher and wider depending on the input value or Vcc

And if the output value from ic4017 is enough, we can use only 1 NPN transistor to get the output B1, B2, B3,

Some questions :

1) What is clock rate from the 555 timer ?
2) What accuracy do you want in your timing ?
3) What pulse width you want for Bn outputs ?

Regards, Dana.
