SN74ALS163BDR

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74ALS163BDR is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter from the Texas Instruments ALS logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an up-counting sequence. The device features synchronous parallel load, synchronous clear, and ripple clock outputs. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC surface-mount package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary counting with up-direction capability
• Supports synchronous parallel data loading and synchronous clearing
• Provides ripple clock output for cascading applications

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Event counting systems
• Timing control logic modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required ALS logic series specifications. Confirm the SOIC-16 package type aligns with the target PCB footprint. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 0°C to +70°C temperature limits. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous operation and high-speed performance are required compared to standard TTL alternatives. The ALS series offers improved speed-power product characteristics. Consider the SOIC-16 package for automated surface-mount assembly processes. Verify compatibility with existing 5V logic levels in the system design.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This component belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74ALS163B series of synchronous counters. It shares functional similarities with other 4-bit binary counters but distinguishes itself through the Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) technology. This technology provides faster switching speeds while maintaining lower power consumption than earlier generations.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

The SN74ALS163BN serves as a verified pin-compatible alternative in the PDIP-16 through-hole package. Designers transitioning between package types must verify mechanical fitment and soldering process adjustments.
