74HC160, Presettable Synchronous BCD Decade Counter, SMD

The 74HC160 is a presettable synchronous BCD decade counter designed for high-speed logic applications. It operates on a positive-edge triggered clock with an internal look-ahead carry feature, allowing for high-speed cascading of counters. This counter features synchronous counting and loading, meaning all flip-flops are triggered simultaneously on the clock's rising edge. A low-level parallel enable (PE) input allows the counter to load preset data while an asynchronous master reset (MR) ensures immediate clearing of all outputs, irrespective of other input signals. The 74HC160 is ideal for digital counting applications, including frequency division, clock generation, and automation systems. It operates with low power dissipation, making it efficient for battery-powered and high-speed circuits. Available in SMD (surface-mount) packages, it is suitable for modern PCB designs requiring compact and reliable components.
