SN54163J

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN54163J is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports counting frequencies up to 36 MHz. The device features synchronous parallel load, synchronous clear, and ripple carry outputs. It is housed in a 16-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP) and is rated for an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary counting with parallel data inputs
• Synchronous clear function that resets the counter independently of the clock signal
• Ripple carry output for cascading multiple counters

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing circuits requiring precise synchronization
• Frequency division networks
• Event counting systems

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Package Option Addendum to confirm the exact package type and pin configuration. Ensure the component meets the required military-grade environmental specifications for the intended application environment.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-speed synchronous counter is needed for harsh environments. The CDIP package provides superior thermal and mechanical stability compared to plastic variants. Verify compatibility with existing logic families regarding voltage levels and drive requirements.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN54 series of synchronous 4-bit counters, designed for military and aerospace applications. It shares functional similarities with commercial SN74 series counterparts but offers extended temperature ranges and higher reliability standards suitable for demanding operational conditions.
