74LS161 Synchronous 4-Bit Counter Direct Reset 5V IC DIP-16

Description

74LS161 Synchronous 4-Bit Counter Direct Reset 5V IC DIP-16 The 74LS161 is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter designed to count clock pulses and provide a four-bit binary output. All internal flip-flops respond to the same clock signal, allowing the counter to update its outputs synchronously. It is commonly used in digital systems that require reliable pulse counting and sequential control. The IC includes a direct, active-low clear input that resets the counter outputs to zero without waiting for a clock pulse. It also provides count-enable inputs and parallel data inputs for controlled counting and loading a preset value. The 74LS161 is suitable for digital logic projects, timing circuits, frequency division, and cascaded counter designs. Features Internal Look-Ahead for Fast Counting.
