SN74HC163NG4

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC163NG4 is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter from the Texas Instruments SN74HC163 series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a 16-pin PDIP package for through-hole mounting. It features synchronous preset and synchronous clear functions, triggered on the positive edge of the clock signal. The logic family is designated as HC, ensuring compatibility with standard CMOS logic levels.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous 4-bit binary counting operation with up-count direction
• Synchronous parallel data loading capability via preset inputs
• Synchronous master reset function for immediate zeroing
• Positive-edge-triggered clock input for precise timing control

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Sequential pulse generation systems
• Time-delay circuit implementations

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pin configuration against the target PCB footprint before integration. Confirm that the required supply voltage and environmental temperature ranges align with the system specifications. Ensure that the synchronous control signals are properly managed to prevent unintended state changes during operation.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous 4-bit binary counter with parallel load and clear capabilities is required in a through-hole design. The HC logic family offers high noise immunity and low power consumption suitable for general-purpose digital applications. Consider the PDIP package constraints regarding board space and thermal management.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HC163 family of synchronous 4-bit binary counters manufactured by Texas Instruments. The 'G4' suffix typically indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing processes.
