The IC component 74LVC161D,112 is a 4-bit binary counter that is designed for 2V to 5.5V VCC operation. It has several key features that make it useful in various applications.
One of the main features of the 74LVC161D,112 is its ability to count up to 16 different states. It has a synchronous counter structure with an asynchronous reset input (RST) and a synchronous count enable input (CE). The input signals to the four-bit counter are CLK (clock input), the RST (reset input), and the CE (count enable input). The CLK input is used to advance the count on the rising edge of the clock signal. The RST input, when asserted, clears the count value to 0000. The CE input, when enabled, allows the count to increment based on the CLK input.
Another important feature of the 74LVC161D,112 is its low power consumption. It operates on a wide voltage range (2V to 5.5V) and has a low supply current, making it suitable for battery-powered devices and other low-power applications.
Furthermore, the 74LVC161D,112 has Schmitt-trigger inputs that provide hysteresis, resulting in improved noise immunity and a wider input voltage range. This makes it more reliable in noisy environments and ensures stable operation
