SN74HC163N

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC163N is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter from the Texas Instruments HC logic family. It features synchronous preset and synchronous reset capabilities, triggered by positive edge clocking. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports through-hole installation in a 16-pin PDIP package. It is rated for 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 synchronous reset functions
• Through-hole compatible 16-pin plastic dual in-line package

Counter Dividers Applications

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

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required through-hole (PDIP) package configuration rather than surface-mount variants. Confirm the logic family designation corresponds to standard HC performance levels. Ensure the component meets the specified industrial temperature range requirements for the intended deployment environment.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous 4-bit binary counter with independent control inputs is required. The HC series offers CMOS compatibility suitable for general-purpose digital logic. Consider the physical package constraints and verify that the operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply specifications.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74HC163 series of synchronous counters. It provides a standardized solution for sequential logic operations within digital systems. The HC series ensures compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while maintaining low power consumption characteristics typical of CMOS technology.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include the SN74HC163PWRG4Q1 and SN74HC163N variants from Texas Instruments. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent parts such as the CD74AC163M, though electrical parameters and package types must be verified for direct interchangeability.
