74LS161 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter IC (74161) DIP-14 Package

Description

1. 4-Bit Binary Counting: The 74LS161 is a 4-bit binary counter, which means it can count through 16 states (from 0000 to 1111) and then reset to zero.
2. Synchronous Counting: The IC performs synchronous counting, meaning that all four bits change simultaneously in response to a clock pulse.
3. Parallel Load: The IC allows parallel loading of the count value, which can be useful for presetting the counter to a specific value.
4. Asynchronous Clear: The IC includes an asynchronous clear input that allows you to reset the count to zero at any time.
