74HC160 BCD Counter (Decade Counter)

The 74HC160 is a high-speed CMOS synchronous decade counter (BCD counter) with asynchronous reset, designed for counting operations in digital electronics. It counts from 0 to 9 in binary-coded decimal format and then resets automatically, making it ideal for timer circuits, event counters, frequency dividers, and display driving applications.

This IC features a synchronous clear, load, and clock enable for flexible control in complex logic designs. Its TTL-compatible inputs allow easy interfacing with microcontrollers, 74LS series logic, and other digital devices. The 74HC160 operates with low power consumption while providing high noise immunity for reliable performance.

Packaged in a breadboard-friendly DIP-16 form, it is perfect for both prototyping and PCB-based projects. Whether for industrial automation, digital clocks, or numeric displays, the 74HC160 offers precision counting and stable operation.
