SN74ALS169BD

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74ALS169BD is a four-bit synchronous up/down binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C. The device utilizes the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) logic series and features a synchronous counting mechanism with up/down control capability. It is housed in a SOIC-16 surface-mount package.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Up/Down direction control functionality
• Advanced Low-power Schottky logic technology

Counter Dividers Applications

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

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BD' against official documentation, as standard listings often use 'BDR'. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets. Ensure the SOIC-16 package matches design requirements. Check for any product change notifications or discontinuance notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power synchronous counter is required. The ALS series offers improved speed and power characteristics compared to standard TTL. Verify that the 4-bit capacity meets system needs. Consider the SOIC-16 package for surface-mount assembly constraints.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ALS169 family of counters. It provides a synchronous alternative to asynchronous ripple counters, reducing propagation delay issues. The ALS technology ensures lower power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation suitable for digital logic applications.
