What are the key features of the SN74LS160?

Key features include synchronous counting and loading, asynchronous reset, positive-edge triggered clock, and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

How does the asynchronous reset function?

A LOW signal at the master reset (MR) input immediately sets all outputs (Q0 to Q3) to LOW, regardless of the state of the clock or other inputs.

What should engineers review before using this part?

Engineers should review the propagation delay (CP to TC) and setup times (CEP to CP) to ensure the maximum clock frequency requirements are met for cascaded designs.

What is the pinout of SN74LS160N(LX)?

Use the SN74LS160N(LX) datasheet for the official pinout diagram and pin names. In PartGenie, ask Datasheet AI about SN74LS160N(LX) pinout to locate pins, power rails, and interface signals before layout.
