74LS160 74160 74HC160 4-Bit Synchronous Decade Counter
The 74LS160 IC package, consisting of 16 pins, contains a single 4 bit synchronous counter circuit which can be wired for decade counting mod, without external logic chips. By wiring more than one 74LS160 together (cascading), it is possible to make higher count lengths (powers of ten). For example, two 74LS160s cascaded together would yield a counter capable of decimally counting the range 00 – 99.

74LS160 Dual 4-Bit Decade/Binary Counter IC is a part of 74XXYY IC series. The 74LS160 IC has a wide range of working voltage, a wide range of working conditions, and directly interfaces with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL. The output of the IC always comes in TTL which makes it easy to work with other TTL devices and microcontrollers. The IC 74LS160 is smaller in size and it has a much faster speed which makes it reliable in every kind of device.
What is a Decade/Binary Counter?
A Binary Counter is a serial digital counter that counts ten digits. it resets for every new clock input. As it can go through 10 unique combinations of output, it is also called as “Decade counter”. A binary counter can count 0000, 0001, 0010, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1110, 1111, 0000, and 0001 and so on. A 4 bit binary counter will act as a decade counter by skipping any six outputs out of the 16 (24) outputs.
