SN74161N Counter ICs Synchronous 4-bit binary counters 16-PDIP 0 to 70

The SN74161N is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter integrated circuit, packaged in a 16-PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package). This counter IC is designed to increment its count on each positive clock edge, providing a binary output representing the current count value. It features synchronous operation, meaning all flip-flops change state simultaneously, ensuring accurate and predictable counting. The SN74161N is widely used in digital logic circuits for frequency division, timing control, and address generation. Its reliable performance and ease of use make it a popular choice for both educational and professional applications.

This counter IC features a clear input that resets the counter to zero, as well as a load input that allows for presetting the counter to a specific value. The synchronous counting operation ensures that all bits change state at the same time, eliminating glitches and ensuring accurate counting. The 16-PDIP package allows for easy integration into breadboards and printed circuit boards. The SN74161N operates over a temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. Its high-speed operation allows for counting at frequencies up to several megahertz.
