74HC163FP-E

Counter Dividers Overview

The 74HC163FP-E is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a positive-edge-triggered clock input and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device supports an up-counting direction with a maximum count rate of 55 MHz. It includes dedicated outputs for ripple carry and terminal count, facilitating cascading applications. The component maintains functional compatibility across its specified voltage range, though noise margins may decrease at lower voltages.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary counting architecture with positive-edge triggering
• Operational support across a wide 2 V to 6 V supply voltage range
• High-speed performance capability reaching up to 55 MHz count rate
• Integrated ripple carry and terminal count outputs for system expansion

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Cascaded multi-stage counter systems
• Timing sequence generation logic
• Binary data processing units

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against official Renesas documentation to confirm environmental compliance status. Confirm package type accuracy as FP. Check current lifecycle status via manufacturer channels, as availability may vary. Ensure supply voltage requirements align with target application noise margin specifications.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring synchronous 4-bit counting with high-speed operation up to 55 MHz. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating range when designing power supplies. Evaluate noise margin degradation at lower supply voltages if operating near the 2 V minimum threshold. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 74HC series of general-purpose logic ICs from Renesas. The 74HC family offers high-speed CMOS performance with standard TTL-compatible inputs. The 74HC163 variant specifically provides synchronous reset functionality, distinguishing it from asynchronous counterparts in the same logical family.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

HD74HC163FP is listed as a related product within the HD/RD74HC series. Verify functional equivalence and pin compatibility before substitution. Consult official datasheets for both parts to ensure parameter alignment.
