CD74AC161M96

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74AC161M96 is a synchronous binary counter from the Texas Instruments 74AC series, housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package. It features four-bit counting with an asynchronous reset and synchronous preset capability. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 1.5 V to 5.5 V and supports positive edge triggering. It provides up to 24 mA output drive current and includes three enable inputs for flexible cascading. The component is rated for operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting with positive edge triggering
• Asynchronous master reset and synchronous parallel load functionality
• High-speed CMOS construction with balanced propagation delays
• Three enable inputs facilitating easy cascading for multi-stage applications

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing and sequencing circuits
• Frequency division and pulse generation systems
• Data processing and control logic modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with standard SOIC-16 footprints during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements against your manufacturing environment standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage, high-speed synchronous counter is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The AC logic family offers superior speed compared to HC variants while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 1.5 V minimum operating voltage aligns with your system's power rail availability and noise margins.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments CD74AC161 family of synchronous binary counters. The M96 suffix specifically denotes the reel-packaged version intended for high-volume surface-mount production lines. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy through-hole counterparts in modern miniaturized electronic designs requiring precise digital counting operations.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

CD74AC161M is the equivalent tube-packaged variant offering identical electrical performance but different physical packaging.
