74F160 DIP IC 4 Bit Synchronous Decade Counter (74F160 IC)

The 74F160 is a 4-bit synchronous decade (BCD) counter integrated circuit designed for high-speed counting and frequency division in digital systems. It counts from 0 to 9 (BCD) and then automatically resets to zero on the next clock pulse. The IC features synchronous counting, synchronous load, and asynchronous clear functions for reliable and efficient operation.

Belonging to the FAST TTL logic family, the 74F160 is widely used in digital clocks, event counters, frequency dividers, timing circuits, and microprocessor-based systems. It is supplied in a 16-pin DIP package, making it suitable for breadboard prototyping and through-hole PCB designs.
