Product Description

The MC74ACT161DR2G is a versatile counter that features a fully synchronous internal architecture for precise counting and timing operations. Its synchronous design allows for higher-speed operation than asynchronous (ripple clock) counterparts. The device can count up to 16 binary increments and is presettable through the parallel inputs.

It is equipped with features such as a look-ahead carry output for cascading multiple counters and a clear function to reset the count to zero. The outputs change state on the rising edge of the clock pulse, ensuring reliable and predictable timing for connected systems.

With its robust design and wide operating voltage range, the MC74ACT161DR2G is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, including machine control, process counting, and digital timers. Its SOIC-16 package makes it suitable for space-constrained applications while ensuring ease of integration into various circuit designs.

This product is designed with the commitment to quality and reliability that is synonymous with ON Semiconductor's offerings, making it a reliable component for your digital logic solutions.
