SN74HC163DR

Texas Instruments · Counters, Dividers · SOIC-16

SN74HC163DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CLR input Active-low synchronous clear: a low level sets all four flip-flop outputs low after the next low-to-high CLK transition, regardless of the enable inputs.
2 CLK input Buffered clock input; the four flip-flops trigger on the rising (positive-going) edge of CLK.
3 A input Parallel preset data input (bit A); when LOAD is low, the outputs take the preset data after the next clock pulse. Unused inputs must be held at VCC or GND.
4 B input Parallel preset data input (bit B); when LOAD is low, the outputs take the preset data after the next clock pulse. Unused inputs must be held at VCC or GND.
5 C input Parallel preset data input (bit C); when LOAD is low, the outputs take the preset data after the next clock pulse. Unused inputs must be held at VCC or GND.
6 D input Parallel preset data input (bit D); when LOAD is low, the outputs take the preset data after the next clock pulse. Unused inputs must be held at VCC or GND.
7 ENP input Count-enable input; both ENP and ENT must be high for the counter to count, and transitions at ENP are allowed regardless of the CLK level.
8 GND power_in Ground reference; the absolute maximum continuous current through VCC or GND is ±50 mA.
9 LOAD input Active-low synchronous preset input; a low level disables the counter and loads the A-D data on the next clock pulse regardless of the enable inputs.
10 ENT input Count-enable input that also feeds forward to enable RCO; both ENP and ENT must be high to count.
11 QD output Counter output bit D (most significant bit of the 4-bit binary count); outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads.
12 QC output Counter output bit C; outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads.
13 QB output Counter output bit B; outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads.
14 QA output Counter output bit A (least significant bit); outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads.
15 RCO output Ripple-carry output that produces a high-level pulse while the count is maximum (9 or 15 with QA high) when ENT is high, for cascading stages.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage: recommended operating range 2 V to 6 V (5 V nominal), absolute maximum −0.5 V to 7 V.
