Texas Instruments SN54LV161A/SN74LV161A 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter Datasheet
The SN54LV161A and SN74LV161A devices are 4-bit synchronous binary counters designed for 2-V to 5.5-V operation. They feature internal carry look-ahead for fast counting, synchronous presetting, and asynchronous clear functionality. The counters support mixed-mode voltage operation and include Ioff circuitry for partial-power-down mode to prevent damaging current backflow.
