74HC160 Presettable Synchronous BCD Decade Counter SMD IC

74HC160 Presettable Synchronous BCD Decade Counter SMD IC

The 74HC160 is a Presettable Synchronous BCD Decade Counter available as an SMD (Surface Mount Device) IC. This integrated circuit is used for counting applications and operates as a 4-bit binary-coded decimal (BCD) counter. The device counts from 0 to 9 (0000 to 1001 in binary) in a synchronous manner, meaning all outputs change simultaneously with the clock pulse, ensuring precise timing control in digital systems. Key features of the 74HC160 include a preset capability, which allows the counter to be loaded with a specific value before counting begins. This is controlled by the preset inputs (P0 to P3) and a load control (LOAD) input. When the LOAD input is active, the counter is preset to the value present on the preset inputs. The IC also features a clock input (CP) and a clear input (CLR) for resetting the count to zero. The 74HC160 has a carry-out (CO) output that can be used to cascade multiple counters for counting beyond 9, enabling it to form multi-digit counting systems. It operates with a supply voltage range from 2V to 6V, making it compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic.
