Synchronous 4-Bit Binary Counters The SN54HC163J is a 4-bit synchronous binary counter manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI).
### **Specifications:**
- **Logic Type:** Synchronous Binary Counter
- **Number of Bits:** 4
- **Supply Voltage Range:** 2V to 6V
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -55°C to +125°C (Military grade)
- **Package Type:** CDIP (Ceramic Dual In-Line Package)
- **Mounting Type:** Through-Hole
- **Clock Frequency:** Up to 25 MHz (typical at 5V)
- **Output Type:** Standard
- **Features Synchronous Counting:** All flip-flops are clocked simultaneously
- **Reset Capability:** Synchronous reset (clear)
- **Parallel Load Capability:** Allows presetting the counter
### **Descriptions:**
The SN54HC163J is a high-speed CMOS logic 4-bit synchronous counter with an internal carry look-ahead for cascading. It features synchronous operation, meaning the outputs change only on the rising edge of the clock pulse. The counter can be synchronously cleared or loaded with a parallel input value.
### **Features:**
- **Synchronous Counting:** All state changes occur on the clock edge.
- **Parallel Load Inputs:** Allows loading a preset value.
- **Synchronous Reset (Clear):** Resets the counter to zero on the clock edge when enabled.
- **Carry Look-Ahead:** Simplifies cascading multiple counters.
- **Wide Operating Voltage Range:** 2V to 6V.
- **High Noise Immunity:** Typical of CMOS technology.
- **Low Power Consumption:** Suitable for battery-operated applications.
This part is designed for military and high-reliability applications due to its extended temperature range and ceramic packaging.
