MC74F163AD

Counter Dividers Overview

The MC74F163AD is a synchronous 4-bit binary up-counter from the 74F logic family, manufactured by onsemi. It features positive-edge triggering and synchronous reset functionality within a single element configuration. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports counting rates up to 120 MHz. It is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package with a width of 3.90 mm. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary up-counting capability with positive-edge clock triggering
• Integrated synchronous reset mechanism for precise state control
• High-speed operation supporting data rates up to 120 MHz
• Single-element design in a compact 16-pin SOIC surface-mount package

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing and sequencing circuits
• Frequency division networks
• Event counting systems
• Address generation in digital processors

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AD' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance documentation if required by your assembly standards. Confirm that the 16-SOIC package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements exactly before finalizing orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-speed synchronous counter is required for 4-bit binary applications. The 74F series offers faster propagation delays compared to standard 74LS counterparts but consumes more power. Ensure the system voltage remains strictly within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage to the internal circuitry during operation.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F163 base product number family, which defines the core logical function of a 4-bit synchronous binary counter. The 'MC' prefix indicates it is an onsemi manufactured component, while 'AD' specifies the package type and tape/reel or bulk packaging variant. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic designs requiring reliable binary counting operations.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

SN74F163AD and SN74F163ADR from Texas Instruments are documented direct substitutes. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before integration.
