SN74HC163DRE4

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC163DRE4 is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter from the Texas Instruments SN74HC163 series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports surface-mount installation in a SOIC-16 package. The device counts up on positive edge triggers and features synchronous preset and reset capabilities. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting with positive-edge triggering
• Independent synchronous preset and clear control inputs
• High-speed CMOS technology compatible with standard logic families

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital timing and sequencing circuits
• Frequency division networks
• Event counting systems

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DRE4 to confirm the SOIC-16 package and reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and reflow soldering profile. Confirm that the 2V to 6V operating voltage aligns with the system power rails. Validate RoHS compliance requirements for the intended market.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous 4-bit up-counter is required in a surface-mount format. The HC logic family offers broad voltage compatibility and noise immunity suitable for general-purpose digital applications. Consider the SOIC-16 package dimensions against available board space constraints.

Counter Dividers Part Context
