74HC160 (Counter)
20 EGP · In stock
### Overview The 74HC160 is a high-speed, synchronous 4-bit decade counter from the 74HC series, designed for a wide range of digital logic applications. Its synchronous operation ensures that all outputs change simultaneously on the rising edge of the clock, eliminating the glitches often associated with asynchronous counters. With an asynchronous clear function, you can reset the counter to zero at any time, making it ideal for precise counting and timing circuits. Whether you're building a digital clock, a frequency divider, or a state machine, the 74HC160 provides reliable and efficient performance. ### Key Features - **Synchronous 4-bit decade counting** – counts from 0 to 9 and wraps around. - **Asynchronous clear** – instantly resets the counter to 0, regardless of clock state. - **High-speed operation** – up to 66MHz, suitable for demanding applications. - **Wide supply voltage range** – operates from 2V to 6V, compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels. - **Positive edge-triggered** – ensures precise and predictable counting. - **DIP-16 package** – easy to use on breadboards and PCBs. ### Technical Specifications - **Type:** Decade Counter - **Number of Elements:** 1 - **Number of Bits per Element:** 4 - **Timing:** Synchronous - **Reset:** Asynchronous - **Trigger Type:** Positive Edge - **Counting Rate:** 66MHz - **Voltage – Supply:** 2V ~ 6V - **Package / Case:** 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) ### Applications & Use Cases - **Digital clocks and timers** – build precise timekeeping circuits. - **Frequency dividers** – divide clock frequencies by 10. - **State machines** – implement sequential logic controllers. - **Industrial automation** – count events or products in manufacturing. - **Educational projects** – teach digital electronics and counter circuits. - **Embedded systems** – interface with microcontrollers for event counting. ### What's Included - 1x 74HC160 Decade Counter IC ### Compatibility - **Logic family:** 74HC series – compatible with 74LS, 74HCT, and CMOS logic. - **Voltage levels:** Works with 3.3V and 5V systems. - **Package:** Standard DIP-16 – fits standard breadboards and IC sockets. - **Pinout:** Standard 16-pin DIP configuration (refer to datasheet for exact pin functions). ### MOKWN Recommendation The 74HC160 is a staple component for any digital electronics enthusiast or professional.
