MC74F169N

Counter Dividers Overview

The MC74F169N is a synchronous 4-bit up/down counter manufactured by onsemi. It supports both Binary and BCD counting modes with independent Up/Down control inputs. The device features asynchronous Clear and Parallel Load functions, allowing for flexible data initialization. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and is housed in a 16-PDIP package.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous operation with positive edge triggering
• Supports both binary and BCD counting directions
• Includes asynchronous clear and parallel load capabilities

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing circuits requiring precise count sequences
• Frequency division applications in digital systems
• Position control logic in industrial automation equipment

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as this component has historical associations with Motorola. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier, as legacy parts may vary in material declaration. Ensure the 16-PDIP package matches your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous counting with direction control is required. It is suitable for designs needing parallel loading of initial values. Consider the 4.5V to 5.5V supply constraint. Verify that the propagation delay meets your system's timing budget compared to faster logic families.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 74F series logic family, known for high-speed performance. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic design. The N suffix indicates the PDIP-16 through-hole package variant, distinguishing it from surface-mount options.
