MC74HC163ADG

Counter Dividers Overview

The MC74HC163ADG is a high-performance silicon-gate CMOS presettable binary counter manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and features synchronous reset functionality. The device provides four parallel data inputs for presetting the count value and includes ripple carry outputs for cascading applications. It utilizes a 16-pin SOIC surface-mount package and is designed with low input current characteristics and high noise immunity typical of CMOS technology.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous preset capability allows loading of data values at any time, independent of the clock signal.
• Synchronous reset function clears all outputs to a low state only upon the active transition of the clock pulse.
• Ripple carry output facilitates efficient cascading of multiple counters without additional logic gates.

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing circuits requiring precise binary counting sequences
• Frequency division networks in communication systems
• Event counting modules in industrial control equipment

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official manufacturer documentation before integration. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding manufacturing site or material updates. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous reset behavior is required rather than asynchronous clearing. Compare against MC74HC161A if asynchronous reset functionality is preferred instead. Evaluate power consumption requirements as HC series devices offer lower static power dissipation compared to older TTL equivalents. Verify package availability in SOIC-16 format matches PCB footprint constraints.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the MC74HC163A family of programmable 4-bit binary counters. It shares pinout compatibility with LS163 devices while offering improved speed and lower power consumption. The HC series represents high-speed CMOS technology suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring reliable binary counting operations.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

MC74HC163ADTR2G serves as an alternative reel-packaged version of the same logical device. SN74HC163PW from Texas Instruments offers a comparable TSSOP package solution. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with non-onsemi components.
