Synchronous Binary Counter
DIP-16

The 74163 High-Speed CMOS 4-Bit Synchronous Binary Counter DIP-16 is a versatile digital IC designed for high-speed counting applications. It operates as a preset table 4-bit synchronous binary counter with clear and load functions, allowing precise control over counting operations. All internal operations are synchronized with the clock input, ensuring reliable and glitch-free performance. The device supports cascading for higher bit counts and is widely used in timing, frequency division, digital clocks, and control circuits. Its DIP-16 package makes it easy to use in breadboards and through-hole PCB designs, ideal for educational, prototyping, and industrial digital logic applications.
