93S10DM

Counter Dividers Overview

The National Semiconductor 93S10DM is a 4-bit BCD decade counter integrated circuit housed in a 16-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP). It operates within a standard TTL logic family, designed for digital counting applications. The device functions as a synchronous counter capable of decoding binary-coded decimal outputs. It requires a nominal supply voltage of 5 V and is constructed using ceramic packaging to ensure durability in demanding environments.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Implements 4-bit binary-coded decimal (BCD) counting sequences
• Utilizes synchronous operation for reliable state transitions
• Constructed with ceramic dual in-line packaging for environmental stability

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Decimal counting systems
• TTL-based digital logic designs

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as National Semiconductor assets were acquired by Texas Instruments. Confirm the ceramic package variant matches the DM suffix requirement. Ensure compatibility with existing TTL logic levels and power supply specifications before integration into legacy systems.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, ceramic-packaged BCD counter is required for high-reliability applications. The CDIP format offers superior thermal and mechanical performance compared to plastic variants. Verify that the system design accommodates the physical dimensions and pinout of the 16-lead ceramic DIP housing.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This component belongs to the National Semiconductor 93S series, which focuses on Schottky TTL logic devices known for speed and efficiency. The 93S10 specifically addresses the need for decade counting in digital systems. The DM suffix denotes the ceramic dual in-line package, distinguishing it from plastic or other substrate variations within the same logical family.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents such as the DM93S10 or generic 74S192/74LS192 if pin-compatible alternatives are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the 4-bit BCD functionality and TTL input/output characteristics. Ceramic package replacements may require specific sourcing channels.
