74HC160DB,112

Counter Dividers Overview

The 74HC160DB,112 is a synchronous presettable BCD decade counter with an asynchronous reset function. It features four data inputs (D0-D3) and four flip-flop outputs (Q0-Q3). The device operates on a positive-edge triggered clock (CP) and includes two count enable inputs (CEP, CET) for cascading. A terminal count output (TC) signals the completion of a counting cycle. It complies with JEDEC standard no. 7A and supports supply voltages from 2.0 V to 6.0 V.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous counting and loading mechanism
• Asynchronous master reset capability
• Internal look-ahead carry for simplified serial cascading
• Positive-edge triggered clock operation

Counter Dividers Applications

• BCD decade counting applications
• Digital frequency division circuits
• Time base generation systems
• Cascaded multi-stage counter designs

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '112' against current Nexperia documentation to confirm package type and temperature range specifications. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements within the 2.0 V to 6.0 V operating range. Confirm that the SO16 package variant matches the design constraints.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous BCD decade counter with asynchronous reset is required. Consider the internal look-ahead carry feature if serial cascading of multiple counters is necessary. Verify that the CMOS input levels are compatible with the driving logic family in the application circuit.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. It functions as a decade counter, distinct from binary counters like the 74HC163. The device is designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring reliable synchronous operation and clear state management.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

The 74HC160N and 74HC160PW are alternative package variants of the same logical function. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting packages. Ensure the replacement maintains the synchronous preset and asynchronous reset functionality.
