What are the key features of CD74HCT163EE4?

  • Synchronous 4-bit up counter with terminal count output (TCO) enabling cascaded multi-stage counting without glitches
  • HCT family 5V operation with TTL-compatible inputs for seamless interfacing with legacy 74LS and 74HC logic systems
  • Synchronous load and preset inputs allowing programmable starting counts for flexible sequence generation
  • 50 pF load capacitance rating ensuring reliable high-speed operation in typical PCB environments

What is CD74HCT163EE4 used for?

The CD74HCT163EE4 is widely used in digital clocking and timing circuits, frequency dividers, and event counters where a reliable 4-bit synchronous binary counter is required. Its TCO output enables easy cascading to create 8-bit, 12-bit, or wider counters for address generation in memory interfaces and state machine applications. The HCT family compatibility allows direct interfacing with both TTL and CMOS logic systems in mixed-voltage 5V digital designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which counter designs benefit from the CD74HCT163EE4 synchronous load and terminal-count output?

The CD74HCT163EE4 fits digital sequencing, address stepping, and frequency-division circuits that need a 4-bit synchronous up counter with a TCO output in one 16-pin device.

How should a buyer plan board layout around the PDIP version of this HCT counter?

This version uses a 16-pin PDIP package, giving through-hole access to clock, enable, load, preset, count outputs, and terminal-count signals for serviceable 5 V logic boards.

What sourcing risk should be considered before using CD74HCT163EE4 in a new production build?

Because this part is listed as obsolete, buyers should confirm lot traceability and available quantities before committing it to 5 V maintenance builds or long-running 16-pin counter assemblies.
