CD74ACT7061E

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74ACT7061E is a 14-bit binary counter integrated circuit manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features a single element with negative edge triggering and operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V. The device supports count rates up to 100 MHz, providing enhanced noise immunity at 5V compared to standard logic families. It is housed in a 20-pin DIP package and functions as a synchronous counter suitable for high-speed digital applications requiring precise timing control.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• High-speed performance supporting 100 MHz count rates
• Improved noise immunity at 5V supply voltage

Counter Dividers Applications

• High-speed digital timing circuits
• Frequency division systems
• Precision event counting
• Digital clock generation modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Harris Corporation or its successor entities, as original production may have ceased. Confirm the package type is 20-PDIP and check RoHS compliance status, as older ACT series components often lack modern environmental certifications. Ensure the negative edge trigger specification matches system requirements before procurement.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide counting range of 14 bits is required alongside high-frequency operation. The ACT series offers superior speed and noise characteristics compared to HC or HCT variants. Consider the 20-pin DIP footprint for through-hole mounting needs. Verify that the negative edge triggering aligns with the system clock polarity to ensure correct synchronization.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the Harris ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) logic family, designed for high-speed digital applications. The 74ACT7061 specifically implements a 14-stage binary counter function. It represents an evolution from earlier TTL-based counters, offering lower power consumption while maintaining high switching speeds compatible with advanced CMOS systems.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Substituting with HC series parts may result in reduced performance due to lower speed capabilities. Verify pin compatibility if considering alternative manufacturers. Note that availability of new-old-stock Harris units may be limited; consider modern equivalents with similar 14-bit synchronous architectures.
