SN74ALS163BN

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74ALS163BN is a synchronous 4-bit binary up-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 through-hole mounting in a PDIP-16 package. The device features synchronous parallel load, synchronous clear, and ripple clock outputs. It is designed for industrial temperature ranges spanning 0°C to +70°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting with positive-edge triggering
• Independent synchronous clear and parallel load capabilities
• Ripple clock output for cascading applications

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Timing sequence generation systems
• Event counting modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation on the component marking against official datasheets to confirm authenticity. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly process.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous operation is required to prevent timing glitches common in asynchronous counters. The ALS series offers improved speed and power consumption compared to standard TTL. Verify that the system voltage remains strictly within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V operational limits.
