SN74HC163PWR

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74HC163PWR 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 TSSOP-16 package. The device functions as an up-counter with synchronous preset and synchronous reset capabilities, triggered on the positive edge of the clock signal. It is designed for industrial temperature ranges spanning from -40°C to +85°C.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting operation with parallel data inputs
• Synchronous clear and load control mechanisms for precise state management
• High-speed performance suitable for digital timing applications

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Timing sequence generation systems
• Event counting modules in embedded controllers

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PWR corresponds to the TSSOP-16 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the selected component matches the required operating temperature range for the intended environment. Cross-reference datasheet electrical characteristics against system power supply constraints.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring synchronous 4-bit binary counting with low power consumption. The HC logic family offers compatibility with standard CMOS interfaces. Consider the TSSOP-16 package for space-constrained surface-mount layouts. Validate that the 2 V to 6 V operating voltage aligns with the target system's power rails.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HC163 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a direct replacement for older TTL-based counters while offering improved noise immunity and lower power dissipation. The synchronous architecture distinguishes it from asynchronous ripple counters, providing predictable timing behavior in complex digital systems.
