CD74ACT163E

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74ACT163E is a synchronous binary counter manufactured by Harris Corporation, belonging to the ACT logic series. It features a 4-bit counting architecture with positive edge triggering and an up-counting direction. The device operates on a single supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and utilizes CMOS technology. It is housed in a 16-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). Key electrical characteristics include a maximum operating frequency of 90MHz at nominal supply voltage and a maximum output low current of 24mA. The component supports load/preset inputs and includes a terminal count output.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary
