• High-speed operation suitable for digital signal processing
• Standard TTL logic interface compatibility

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital signal processing systems
• Binary number counting circuits
• Frequency division applications

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from National Semiconductor or Texas Instruments archives. Confirm that the 25 MHz count rate specification aligns with your system requirements. Ensure the 16-pin DIP package matches your PCB footprint. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous 4-bit counting is required with TTL compatibility. Consider the 25 MHz speed limit for high-frequency designs. Verify the 5V operating voltage range fits your power supply. The DIP-16 package is suitable for prototyping or through-hole manufacturing processes.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the National Semiconductor 74161 series of synchronous counters. It is functionally related to the DM74163AN but differs in reset behavior. The DM74141N listed in some sources is a distinct gas discharge display driver and should not be confused with this counter IC.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent synchronous 4-bit counters. Verify pinout compatibility before replacing. Cross-reference with Texas Instruments documentation for updated alternatives.
