The 74LVC161PW,112 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74 series family. It is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter with asynchronous reset and parallel load capability. Here are some key features of the 74LVC161PW,112:
1. Synchronous Binary Counter: The IC acts as a counter, incrementing its output based on the clock input signal. It has four flip-flops that can store four bits of binary data.
2. Up/Down Counting: The 74LVC161PW,112 can perform both up-counting and down-counting operations, depending on the input configuration. This flexibility makes it suitable for various applications.
3. Asynchronous Reset: The IC includes an asynchronous reset input (RST) that sets all the output bits to their initial state, regardless of the clock signal. This feature allows for easy resetting of the counter as required.
4. Parallel Load Capability: The IC also supports parallel loading of data using the load input (LD). When activated, the counter will load the binary data from the data inputs (D0-D3) into its internal flip-flops, allowing for quick data transfer.
5. Low Voltage CMOS Technology: The 74LVC161PW,112 is manufactured using low-voltage CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology. This makes it compatible with a wide range of voltage levels and ensures low power consumption
