SN74LS163ANS

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74LS163ANS is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter from the Texas Instruments SN74LS163A series. It features a positive-edge-triggered clock input and supports up-counting operations. The device includes synchronous parallel data loading capabilities, allowing preset values to be loaded on the next clock pulse when enabled. It also provides synchronous clear functionality, resetting all outputs to logic low simultaneously with the clock edge. The component operates within a standard voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Synchronous four-bit binary counting with positive-edge triggering
• Parallel data loading for preset value initialization
• Synchronous clear function for simultaneous output reset

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Sequence signal generation systems
• Microcontroller-based timing control modules

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ANS' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the procurement source provides valid traceability for the SN74LS163A series. Confirm that the 16-SOIC package dimensions match the design requirements. Validate RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before finalizing orders.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring precise synchronous control over count states and preset values. The LS logic family offers balanced speed and power consumption suitable for general-purpose digital applications. Consider the 16-SOIC package for surface-mount assembly processes. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target application.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74LS163A family of synchronous binary counters. It is designed to replace older asynchronous counter variants where glitch-free operation is critical. The SN74LS163ANS variant specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC packaging option within this logical family.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

SN74LS163AD is a documented equivalent from the same manufacturer offering identical logical functions in a compatible surface-mount package.
