The CD74HCT161M96 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the CD74HCT family of high-speed CMOS logic. It is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter designed for use in various applications requiring reliable and efficient counting operations. Here is an overview of the CD74HCT161M96 along with its key features:
1. Binary Counter: The CD74HCT161M96 is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter. It has four independent counting stages, which can be cascaded to achieve higher counts.
2. Synchronous Operation: The IC utilizes synchronous counting, where all internal flip-flops are clocked simultaneously. This ensures precise counting and eliminates any potential race conditions.
3. Ripple Carry Output: The CD74HCT161M96 provides a ripple carry output (RCO) pin. When cascading multiple counters, this pin becomes useful as it generates a carry output signal to the next counter stage.
4. Clock Enable (CE) and Master Reset (MR): The IC incorporates clock enable and master reset features. The CE pin allows the user to enable or disable the clock input, while the MR pin enables a synchronous reset of all internal counters when activated.
5. High-Speed CMOS: The CD74HCT series combines high-speed operation with CMOS technology, allowing it to operate at faster clock frequencies compared to standard CMOS counters
