74160 IC Synchronous 4-Bit Counter 5V 60mA IC DIP-16
The 74160 Synchronous 4-Bit Counter is a TTL logic integrated circuit designed for digital counting applications. It counts clock pulses in a decimal sequence from 0 to 9 and provides four parallel outputs representing the current count in BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) format. Its synchronous design allows all four output bits to update together in response to the active clock edge, helping ensure reliable counting operation in digital systems.
This IC includes control inputs for enabling counting, clearing the counter, and synchronously loading preset data. These functions make it useful for building digital counters, programmable counting circuits, and timing systems. Its 16-pin DIP package is suitable for through-hole PCB assembly, educational electronics projects, and digital logic prototyping.
