MC74ACT162N

Counter Dividers Overview

The MC74ACT162N is a synchronous four-bit decade counter from the 74ACT logic family, manufactured by onsemi. It features independent clear and parallel load capabilities, allowing for flexible data initialization. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is housed in a standard SOIC-16 package. Designed for high-speed digital applications, it supports serial cascading through ripple clock outputs to facilitate multi-stage counting configurations without external gating.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous operation with dedicated clock input for precise timing control
• Independent asynchronous clear and synchronous parallel load functions
• Ripple clock outputs enable simple serial cascading for extended bit counts

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Sequential event counting systems
• Time-base generation in digital clocks

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' corresponds to the SOIC-16 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet or manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents for industrial-grade components.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a synchronous decade counter with parallel load capability. It is suitable for 5V logic systems requiring ACT speed performance. Consider the SOIC-16 footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Verify voltage levels match the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74ACT series of logic integrated circuits, which are compatible with standard TTL inputs while offering CMOS low power consumption characteristics. The MC74ACT162N specifically implements a synchronous four-bit binary-coded decimal (BCD) counter function within this standardized logic family.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes such as the MC74ACT162DR2G or equivalent parts from other manufacturers that specify synchronous decade counter functionality with parallel load and active-low clear.
