Synchronous 4-bit binary counter with asynchronous reset
The Texas Instruments SN74LS161ANSR is a 74LS-series synchronous 4-bit binary counter that increments on the positive edge of the clock. It includes an asynchronous reset (active low) that clears the outputs independently of the clock. The 25 MHz maximum count rate sets the timing budget for the system bus or sensor edge rate.
It is not rated for automotive under-hood, outdoor telecom cabinets, or industrial motor drives where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C or drop below freezing. The 16-SO supplier device package matches standard SOIC-16 land patterns.
