SN74ALS162BN

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74ALS162BN is a synchronous 4-bit decade counter from Texas Instruments, part of the ALS logic series. It operates on a positive edge trigger and counts in an up direction. The device utilizes bipolar technology and is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package. It functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit decade counting capability with positive edge triggering
• Bipolar ALS logic family construction for high-speed performance
• Up-counting direction functionality

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing circuits requiring decade division
• Frequency divider stages in electronic systems
• Control logic sequences in industrial instrumentation

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' corresponds to the 16-pin PDIP package configuration when sourcing. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by your assembly standards. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the active status of this specific Texas Instruments part number to avoid obsolete stock issues.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous decade counter is required instead of a binary counter. The ALS series offers improved speed-power product compared to standard TTL. Verify that the 4-bit output width and decade reset characteristics align with the system's modulus requirements before integration into the design.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74ALS16x series of synchronous counters manufactured by Texas Instruments. It shares the ALS logic family characteristics with other devices in the line but is specifically configured as a decade counter. The 'BN' designation indicates the physical packaging type used for through-hole mounting applications.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

The SN74ALS163BN is a compatible alternative within the same series, though it functions as a binary counter rather than a decade counter. Verify functional equivalence regarding count modulus before substitution.
