74LS160 DIP-16 Synchronous 4-Bit Decade Counter IC (TTL, 5V)

Description -

The 74LS160 DIP is a TTL logic integrated circuit that functions as a synchronous presettable 4-bit decade (BCD) counter in a 16-pin Dual Inline Package (DIP). It belongs to the 74LS Low Power Schottky logic family and is designed for high-speed counting, timing, frequency division, and digital control applications.

The IC features synchronous counting, ensuring all output bits change simultaneously on the rising edge of the clock. It also includes an asynchronous clear input, parallel preset inputs, dual enable inputs, and a ripple carry output, making it ideal for cascading multiple counters in high-speed digital systems.
