Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
A 4-bit synchronous binary counter with parallel load capability, operating at 2-6V logic levels. Features asynchronous reset, clock enable, and data enable inputs for flexible cascading and control. Commonly used in frequency division, counting applications, and digital timing circuits where low-power CMOS performance is required.
Package: SOIC-16 (3.9×9.9mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pin pitch on this 16-pin package makes hand-soldering impractical and breadboard mounting impossible. A breakout board brings the pins to standard 2.54mm spacing, enabling quick prototyping of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, ADCs, and line drivers without requiring surface-mount soldering skills or PCB fabrication.
