CD74HCT161E Counter IC Binary Counter 1-Element 4 Bit Negative Edge 16-PDIP

The CD74HCT161E is a high-speed, 4-bit binary counter IC designed for counting applications in digital systems. It features a single 4-bit binary counter element that increments on the negative edge of the clock signal, providing precise timing and counting functionality. The IC is part of the HCT (High-Speed CMOS with TTL compatibility) family, ensuring fast switching speeds and improved noise immunity compared to standard CMOS logic. It comes in a 16-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), ideal for through-hole mounting and integration into a variety of digital circuit designs. This binary counter counts from 0 to 15 (in binary) and outputs the current count across 4 bits on its parallel outputs. The negative-edge triggering ensures that the counter increments with high accuracy when the clock signal transitions from high to low. The CD74HCT161E is well-suited for applications such as event counting, frequency division, time-delay circuits, and digital clocks. Its compact design and reliable performance make it an ideal choice for high-speed digital signal processing in synchronous systems.
