Product details
Overview
74HC163D,652 from Nexperia is a synchronous 4-bit binary counter with parallel load, synchronous reset, and look-ahead carry-designed for precise digital timing and state sequencing in TTL- and CMOS-compatible logic systems. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers up to 55 MHz maximum clock frequency at VCC = 6.0 V, features 16-pin SO16 (SOT109-1) packaging, and supports cascading via CEP/CET/TC signals for multi-stage counting.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC163D,652 datasheet, 74HC163D,652 pinout, 74HC163D,652 application, or 74HC163D,652 equivalent, this device is selected for deterministic modulo-N counter design, glitch-free synchronous reset in state machines, clock-domain synchronization, and serial/parallel data sequencing where predictable edge-triggered behavior and low propagation delay (<31 ns CP→Qn at 6 V) are critical.
Technical Context
The 74HC163D,652 implements four edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with synchronous preset and reset, enabling deterministic state loading on the rising edge of CP regardless of CE or PE levels. Its internal look-ahead carry logic generates TC only when CET = HIGH and Q0–Q3 = HHHH, allowing clean ripple-carry extension without race conditions.
Count enable is dual-gated (CEP and CET both HIGH required), and terminal count pulse width matches Q0's HIGH duration-enabling direct feed-forward to next stage. Inputs include clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance, and all timing parameters (e.g., tsu = 5 ns min, th = 0 ns, tpd = 16–31 ns) are specified across -40 °C to +125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC high-speed CMOS - compatible with 2.0–6.0 V supply and TTL-level inputs when used as 74HCT variant. |
| Function | Synchronous 4-bit binary counter with parallel load, synchronous reset, and look-ahead carry output (TC). |
| Max Clock Frequency | 55 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V - enables high-speed counting in real-time control and communication timing circuits. |
| Propagation Delay | 16 ns (CP→Qn) at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures tight timing margins in multi-stage synchronous counters. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments. |
| Package | SO16 (SOT109-1), 3.9 mm body width - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - permits safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors. |
Pinout & Package
74HC163D,652 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and 3.9 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard IC convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Synchronous master reset (active LOW) | Resets Q0–Q3 to LOW on next CP rising edge-no race condition; enables clean state initialization. |
| 2 CP | Clock input (LOW-to-HIGH edge triggered) | Drives all four flip-flops simultaneously-ensures zero skew between bit transitions. |
| 3–6 D0–D3 | Parallel data inputs | Loaded into Q0–Q3 when PE = LOW and CP rises-supports arbitrary modulus presetting. |
| 7 CEP | Count enable parallel input | Must be HIGH with CET to permit counting; enables hierarchical enable control in cascaded systems. |
| 8 GND | Ground reference (0 V) | Return path for all internal logic and I/O-requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| 9 PE | Parallel enable (active LOW) | Activates parallel load regardless of CE states-decouples preset control from count gating. |
| 10 CET | Count enable carry input | Enables TC generation and feeds forward to next stage; allows modular n-bit counter construction. |
| 11–14 Q3–Q0 | Flip-flop outputs (Q3 MSB, Q0 LSB) | Binary count state; Q0 toggles on every CP, Q3 toggles every 8th CP-used for decode and feedback. |
| 15 TC | Terminal count output | HIGH only when CET = HIGH and Q0–Q3 = HHHH; pulse width ≈ Q0 HIGH time-ideal for ripple carry. |
| 16 VCC | Supply voltage (2.0–6.0 V) | Power rail for all logic-requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin 16. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous reset | Eliminates metastability and glitches during state clearing-critical for FSM reliability and test-mode entry. |
| Look-ahead carry (TC) | Reduces inter-stage propagation delay in multi-counter chains-enables >100 MHz system-level counting with minimal external logic. |
| Dual count enable (CEP + CET) | Allows independent control of local counting vs. carry propagation-supports gated clock trees and power-aware sequencing. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Permits safe interface to 5 V or 3.3 V buses even when VCC = 2.0 V-reduces need for level-shifting components. |
| JEDEC 7A compliance | Guarantees interoperability with legacy 74-series logic families and standardized PCB footprint reuse. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous 4-bit binary counter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT163D,652 | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout, timing, and function. | Better noise immunity in mixed-signal boards with 5 V microcontrollers; slightly higher ICC at 125 °C. | Select when interfacing directly to legacy 5 V TTL or MCU GPIOs without level shifters. |
| SN74LS163N | Bipolar TTL technology; 4.75–5.25 V only; slower (max 30 MHz), higher power (ICC = 34 mA), larger SOIC-16 footprint. | Limited to 5 V-only systems; unsuitable for battery-powered or wide-temp designs. | Use only for drop-in replacement in legacy LS-based designs where power and speed are secondary. |
Compared with 74HCT163D,652, the 74HC163D,652 offers wider supply range and lower static power but requires CMOS-level drive; versus SN74LS163N, it provides 2× speed, 10× lower ICC, and extended temperature support-making it superior for new industrial and automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of 74HC163D,652?
The 74HC163D,652 is fully specified down to 2.0 V per JEDEC 7A and Nexperia's recommended operating conditions. At 2.0 V, VIH = 1.5 V min and fmax = 6.25 MHz, making it suitable for battery-backed or low-voltage microcontroller peripherals where rail voltage may dip below 3.3 V.
Can 74HC163D,652 be used in asynchronous reset configurations?
No-the MR input is strictly synchronous: it only takes effect on the next rising edge of CP. There is no asynchronous reset capability. For immediate reset, external logic (e.g., NAND gate combining MR with CP) is required-but this violates the synchronous guarantee and introduces timing hazards.
How does the look-ahead carry (TC) differ from ripple carry in cascading?
TC asserts one CP cycle after Q0–Q3 reach HHHH, with propagation delay independent of counter stage position. In contrast, ripple carry relies on Q3 toggling to trigger the next stage's CP, adding cumulative delay (e.g., 4 × tpd). This makes TC-based cascading scalable to >8 stages without violating setup time at 20+ MHz.
Is the 74HC163D,652 pin-compatible with older 74LS163 variants?
Yes-pinout is identical across 74HC163, 74HCT163, and 74LS163 families (SO16/SOIC-16). However, electrical compatibility requires verification: 74HC163D,652 outputs swing rail-to-rail but LS inputs expect 2.0 V VIH, so direct connection to LS loads may require pull-up resistors or level translation at high speed.
