SN74LS163ANG4

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74LS163ANG4 is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the LS logic family. It features a positive-edge triggered clock input and supports both synchronous clear and synchronous preset operations. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and is designed for through-hole installation in a 16-pin PDIP package. It functions as an up-counter with parallel data inputs and outputs.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting capability with positive-edge triggering
• Independent synchronous clear and synchronous preset control inputs
• Parallel data loading functionality via dedicated preset pins

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Timing and sequencing control systems
• Binary code generation modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix G4 confirms RoHS compliance and lead-free status per manufacturer specifications. Confirm the package designation matches the required 16-pin DIP form factor for your PCB layout. Ensure the LS logic family characteristics align with your system's power and speed requirements before finalizing procurement.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when synchronous reset and preset behavior are critical to avoid race conditions associated with asynchronous controls. The LS series offers a balance of speed and power consumption suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring reliable binary counting without complex timing constraints.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 74LS163 family of synchronous counters. The 'G4' suffix typically indicates environmental compliance attributes such as RoHS adherence and lead-free manufacturing processes defined by Texas Instruments. It serves as a direct replacement for non-compliant variants while maintaining identical logical and electrical performance characteristics.
