About this product
The 74HC161 is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter in a 16-pin DIP package from the 74-series logic family. It counts up on the positive clock edge and includes a presettable load and an asynchronous reset. It is used in timers, frequency division and digital counting circuits. The 74LS161 is the TTL version with the same function and pinout.

Where can I buy 74HC161 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter DIP-16 (74LS161 Equivalent) in Egypt?
74HC161 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter DIP-16 (74LS161 Equivalent) is available from RAM Electronics, Makers Electronics, Future Electronics, Most Electronics, Microohm, Ekostra, Circuits Electronics, and UGE. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
What is the difference between 74HC161 and 74LS161?
Both perform the same counting function with the same pinout. The 74HC is a CMOS family with a wide 2 V to 6 V supply range, while the 74LS is a TTL family normally run from 5 V with different input and output logic levels. Check the datasheet before mixing them in a design.
How do I cascade two 74161 counters for more bits?
Connect the RCO (ripple carry output) of the first counter to the ENT and ENP enable inputs of the second counter, and feed the same clock to both. This creates an 8-bit counter. Keep the reset and load lines common to both devices.
