CD74HC163M96

Counter Dividers Overview

The CD74HC163M96 is a high-speed CMOS logic device functioning as a 4-bit binary counter with synchronous reset. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C. The component utilizes a 16-pin SOIC package for surface-mount installation. It features asynchronous parallel data inputs, a clock input, and synchronous load capability. The device provides ripple carry outputs for cascading applications.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous preset loading allows data capture on the positive clock edge without affecting the count state until the subsequent cycle.
• Synchronous reset clears all output states simultaneously upon detection of a low reset signal, maintaining synchronization with the clock.
• Ripple carry output facilitates efficient cascading of multiple counters by indicating terminal count status to downstream stages.

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing sequences requiring precise synchronous control
• Frequency division circuits in clock management systems
• Event counting modules in industrial automation controllers

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the 16-SOIC form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to final procurement decisions.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous reset functionality is required to prevent asynchronous glitches during state changes. The HC series offers wide voltage flexibility suitable for mixed-voltage systems. Consider the propagation delay characteristics relative to the system clock speed to ensure timing margins are met across the full operating temperature range.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments CD74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic integrated circuits. The family is designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring low power consumption and noise immunity. The CD74HC163 variant specifically addresses needs for reliable 4-bit binary counting with advanced control features compared to asynchronous counterparts.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include CD74HC163M and CD74HC163MT. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution. Note that CD74HC163MT is listed as obsolete in some sources; check current availability status.
