What are the key features of CD74HC190PW?

  • Bidirectional (UP/DOWN) synchronous decade BCD counter with a single U/D control pin for easy direction switching
  • Ripple Carry Output (RCO) pin enables effortless cascading of multiple CD74HC190PW devices for wider-range counting without extra glue logic
  • Synchronous parallel load input allows presetting any BCD count value, enabling programmable modulo-N counter configurations
  • High-speed HC family operation up to 20 MHz at 5 V, 50 pF load, making it suitable for medium-frequency clock division and frequency synthesis
  • 16-pin TSSOP-16 package occupies only ~28 mm² of PCB area, easing compact layout in space-constrained designs

What is CD74HC190PW used for?

CD74HC190PW is used in digital instrumentation, industrial controllers, and consumer electronics where bidirectional decimal counting or frequency division is needed. Its synchronous preset and RCO cascade output make it ideal for multi-decade scoreboard displays, event counters, and timer circuits in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The compact TSSOP-16 footprint suits space-constrained PCB designs in portable measurement equipment and embedded control panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum counting frequency of CD74HC190PW and at which supply voltage is it achieved?

CD74HC190PW achieves its maximum counting frequency of 20 MHz when powered from a 5 V supply with a 50 pF load capacitance. At lower supply voltages such as 3.3 V the maximum frequency drops to roughly 13 MHz, so designers targeting high-speed applications should use the 5 V supply rail to maximize throughput and maintain reliable counting margins.

How does the RCO output on CD74HC190PW simplify cascading multiple decade counter stages?

The Ripple Carry Output (RCO) pin goes active-low for one clock period when the counter reaches its terminal count (9 in UP mode or 0 in DOWN mode). Connecting this RCO directly to the ENABLE input of the next CD74HC190PW stage allows multi-decade counting chains covering 10, 100, or 1000 count ranges without any external combinational logic, reducing BOM by eliminating additional gate ICs and saving PCB space.

How can the synchronous parallel load feature be used to create a modulo-N counter with CD74HC190PW?

By holding the LOAD input low and placing the desired preset value on the P0–P3 data inputs, the CD74HC190PW synchronously loads any BCD value from 0 to 9 on the next rising clock edge. Combining this with external decode logic to assert LOAD at count N-1 produces a modulo-N counter, useful for generating custom time-base intervals such as a divide-by-6 circuit producing 1 kHz from a 6 kHz source with only a single CD74HC190PW and a NAND gate.

For a PCB layout targeting minimal board space, what are the key dimensions of the TSSOP-16 package used by CD74HC190PW?

The TSSOP-16 package of CD74HC190PW measures approximately 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body with a 0.65 mm pin pitch. The overall footprint including pads is roughly 6.4 mm × 5.4 mm, occupying about 35 mm² of PCB area — significantly smaller than a DIP-16 package at 19 mm × 7 mm. This compact footprint makes CD74HC190PW suitable for handheld instruments and high-density control boards where space is at a premium.
