SN74HC163NS

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC163NS is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter from the Texas Instruments 74HC series. It features positive-edge triggering and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device supports an up-counting sequence with synchronous preset and reset capabilities. It is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package and 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 clock triggering
• Independent synchronous clear and parallel data inputs for precise control
• High-speed operation capability suitable for digital timing applications

Counter Dividers Applications

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

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NS' corresponds to the 16-SOIC package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the specified 2 V to 6 V operating voltage range and industrial temperature specifications.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring synchronous 4-bit binary counting in a surface-mount format. It serves as a direct functional replacement for asynchronous counters where predictable state changes are critical. Consider the HC logic family characteristics regarding input thresholds and drive strength for interface compatibility.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 74HC logic family, widely used in general-purpose digital electronics. It complements other Texas Instruments counter devices like the SN74HC161, differing primarily in trigger type and reset synchronization methods. The SOIC-16 package facilitates automated assembly in modern PCB manufacturing processes.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

SN74HC163DR offers identical functionality in a smaller SOIC-16 (3.90mm width) package.
