CD74ACT163M96E4

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74ACT163M96E4 is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features a positive-edge-triggered clock input and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device provides a maximum counting rate of 80 MHz and includes an asynchronous reset function. It is housed in a 16-SOIC package with a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary counting operation triggered on the positive edge of the clock signal
• Asynchronous reset capability for immediate clearing of counter outputs
• High-speed performance supporting a maximum counting rate of 80 MHz

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Time-base generation in timing systems
• Address sequencing in memory or I/O mapping applications

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E4 indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free status as per manufacturer standards. Confirm the M96 variant matches the required tape-and-reel packaging specifications for automated assembly processes. Ensure the SOIC-16 footprint aligns with the target PCB design constraints.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous 4-bit counter with high-speed operation up to 80 MHz is required. The ACT series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard HC logic while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. The asynchronous reset feature distinguishes it from counters requiring synchronous reset only.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ACT series, which bridges the performance gap between standard TTL and advanced CMOS technologies. The CD74ACT163 specifically implements the 4-bit synchronous binary counter functionality, providing reliable digital counting operations in industrial and commercial electronic systems.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

CD74ACT163M96 is a compatible alternative within the same product line.
