CD74HC161M96G4

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74HC161M96G4 is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features parallel data inputs, a synchronous clear function, and ripple clock outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V. Key electrical parameters include propagation delays of typically 8ns at 5V and input clamp current specifications. It is housed in an 16-pin SOIC package.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting with parallel load capability
• Active-low synchronous reset for immediate clearing of all stages
• Ripple clock output for cascading multiple counters without external logic

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing circuits requiring precise count sequences
• Frequency division networks in communication systems
• Event counting applications in industrial control panels

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G4 indicates lead-free status and RoHS compliance per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the M96 package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure operating conditions align with the specified voltage and temperature ranges provided in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous operation and low power consumption are required. Compare propagation delay specifications against system clock speeds to ensure timing margins. Verify that the SOIC package size fits within the available board space constraints compared to alternative DIP or TSSOP options.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the HC161 family of synchronous 4-bit binary counters. It shares functional compatibility with other variants while differing in packaging and environmental compliance attributes. The series is widely used in digital electronics for counting and timing applications requiring reliable synchronous behavior.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the CD74HC161M and CD74HC161E if package compatibility allows. Verify pinout consistency and electrical characteristics match before substitution. Alternative logic families may require level shifting or timing adjustments due to different drive strengths.
