Frequently Asked Questions
How does the synchronous reset of CD74ACT163M96 differ from asynchronous reset, and why does it matter for timing closure?
CD74ACT163M96 uses synchronous reset, meaning the counter clears only on the next active clock edge rather than immediately. This eliminates glitches on the output lines and simplifies timing closure in high-speed clocked designs operating above 50 MHz, where asynchronous resets can introduce setup or hold violations.
What is the maximum clock frequency CD74ACT163M96 can handle with a 50 pF load, and in what applications is this speed useful?
With a 50 pF load capacitance, CD74ACT163M96 operates reliably at clock frequencies up to approximately 100 MHz in the ACT logic family. This speed suits frequency division chains, address generators, and state machines in communications equipment, DSP pipelines, and FPGA glue logic requiring fast, deterministic 4-bit counting.
How can multiple CD74ACT163M96 devices be cascaded to form a 16-bit counter?
Connect the TCO (Terminal Count Output) of the first CD74ACT163M96 to the count-enable inputs of the next stage. Four cascaded devices build a 16-bit counter covering 0 to 65535 counts. Each stage adds 4 bits of range, and the 16-pin SOIC-16 package keeps the 4-device cascade within a compact 4 cm² PCB footprint.
