Product details

4-bit synchronous binary counter in the 74ACT family

The CD74ACT161M96 is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter from the 74ACT series, counting up on each positive clock edge with an asynchronous reset. It operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply.

80 MHz count rate — the speed headroom

The 80 MHz count rate is the maximum clock input frequency. The counter reliably increments on each positive edge across the -55°C to 125°C range.

Asynchronous reset — no clock dependency for clear

The asynchronous reset forces all outputs low the moment the reset pin is asserted, without waiting for a clock edge. This is essential for fail-safe designs where immediate reset is required.

Temperature grade and environment

Rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, this counter operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. The 16-SOIC package (3.90 mm width) is a standard surface-mount footprint.

Frequently asked questions

CD74ACT161M96 what is the count rate?

The maximum count rate is 80 MHz, specified across the full -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. This is the clock input frequency at which the counter reliably increments on each positive edge.

What is the function of CD74ACT161M96?

It is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter that counts up on each positive clock edge. It has an asynchronous reset that clears the outputs independently of the clock, making it suitable for frequency division, event counting, and programmable timer applications.

Is CD74ACT161M96 synchronous or asynchronous?

The counting operation is synchronous — the outputs change only on the positive edge of the clock. The reset is asynchronous, meaning it clears the outputs immediately regardless of the clock state.
