SN74HC161N Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The SN74HC161N from Texas Instruments is a 4-bit synchronous, presettable binary counter designed for high-speed counting applications. It features an internal carry look-ahead for efficient cascading in multi-bit designs.

 

This counter operates within a wide voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports synchronous counting triggered by the positive edge of the clock signal. Key electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 14 ns, a count rate of 36 MHz, and low power consumption with a maximum Icc of 80 μA. The outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads, and it has a low input current of 1 μA maximum.

 

The SN74HC161N is available in a 16-PDIP through-hole package, making it suitable for breadboarding and prototyping. Its synchronous operation eliminates output counting spikes, and it offers asynchronous clear functionality. The device is designed for applications requiring precise and reliable counting.

 

Key features include its 4-bit binary counting capability, synchronous operation, and programmable preset function. The asynchronous clear input allows for immediate reset of the counter. Its HC technology family ensures compatibility with other HC logic devices.
