MC74HC161N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum clock frequency of the MC74HC161N is 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and temperature. It's recommended to check the datasheet for specific frequency limits at different operating conditions.

  • To ensure proper reset, connect the MR (Master Reset) pin to a pull-up resistor and a capacitor to VCC. This will ensure that the counter is reset to zero during power-up. Additionally, make sure to meet the minimum pulse width requirement for the MR pin as specified in the datasheet.

  • Yes, the MC74HC161N can be used as a synchronous counter. To do so, connect the clock input (CLK) to a common clock source, and ensure that all counters are triggered on the rising edge of the clock signal. This will ensure that all counters increment simultaneously.

  • To cascade multiple MC74HC161N counters, connect the TC (Terminal Count) output of one counter to the CLK (Clock) input of the next counter. This will allow the counters to increment in a cascaded manner. Make sure to connect the MR (Master Reset) pins of all counters together to ensure proper reset.

  • The maximum output current that the MC74HC161N can sink or source is 25 mA per output pin. However, it's recommended to limit the output current to 10 mA or less to ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
