SN74ALS169BN

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74ALS169BN is a synchronous up/down binary counter from the Texas Instruments SN74ALS169B series. It features four-bit bidirectional counting capability with a load input for parallel data entry. The device operates 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. It is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit bidirectional binary counting
• Parallel load capability via dedicated input pin
• Compatible with standard TTL logic levels

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Timing sequence control systems
• Pulse generation modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the PDIP-16 through-hole package variant. Ensure the component meets the required industrial temperature specifications and logic family compatibility before integration into the design.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous, non-decoding binary counter with parallel load functionality is required. It serves as a direct replacement for older LS-series counters where higher speed and lower power consumption are necessary, provided the voltage and package constraints are met.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ALS169B family of advanced low-power Schottky logic devices. These components are designed for high-speed digital applications requiring efficient binary counting operations with minimal power dissipation compared to standard TTL equivalents.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

SN74ALS169BD (SOIC-16 package), SN74LS169AN (PDIP-16 package). Verify package footprint and logic level compatibility when substituting.
