Product details
Overview
74HCT163D,652 from Nexperia is a TTL-level-compatible, synchronous presettable 4-bit binary counter with internal look-ahead carry, synchronous reset, and dual count-enable inputs (CEP/CET). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers glitch-free counting up to 45 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V, and supports cascading for n-bit counters in industrial timing and control logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT163D,652 datasheet, 74HCT163D,652 pinout, 74HCT163D,652 application, or 74HCT163D,652 equivalent, this device is selected for synchronous modulus counters requiring precise edge-triggered load/reset, deterministic terminal count pulse generation, and robust noise immunity in mixed-logic environments.
Technical Context
The 74HCT163D,652 implements four positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with synchronous parallel load and synchronous master reset. Its look-ahead carry architecture enables predictable TC propagation (29–49 ns) independent of counter state, simplifying multi-stage ripple-free cascading.
Counting requires both CEP and CET high; TC asserts only when CET = HIGH and Q0–Q3 = HHHH. Input thresholds comply with TTL levels (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), ensuring interoperability with legacy 5 V logic families without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds, CMOS output drive |
| Counter Width | 4-bit binary - supports modulo-2⁴ = 16 counting with programmable preset |
| Max Clock Frequency | 45 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V - enables high-speed timing in PLC I/O modules and encoder interfaces |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Qn) | 23–39 ns - ensures tight setup/hold margins in synchronous state machines |
| Terminal Count Pulse Width | ≈ Q0 HIGH duration - provides clean, single-cycle enable signal for next-stage cascade |

Pinout & Package
74HCT163D,652 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and gull-wing leads for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Synchronous master reset | Active-LOW; resets Q0–Q3 on next CP rising edge - enables precise zero-synchronous initialization |
| 2 CP | Clock input | Positive-edge triggered; all flip-flops update simultaneously - eliminates ripple delay and glitches |
| 3–6 D0–D3 | Parallel data inputs | Load values into counter on CP edge when PE = LOW - supports dynamic modulus reconfiguration |
| 7 CEP | Count enable (parallel) | Enables counting only when HIGH - used with CET to gate clock action and prevent spurious increments |
| 8 GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 9 PE | Parallel enable | Active-LOW; enables synchronous load of D0–D3 - decouples load control from count enable logic |
| 10 CET | Count enable carry | Enables TC output and feeds forward to next stage - critical for serial cascading without external gating |
| 11–14 Q3–Q0 | Flip-flop outputs | Q0 LSB to Q3 MSB; true binary order - supports direct connection to bus or decode logic |
| 15 TC | Terminal count output | HIGH only when CET = HIGH and Q0–Q3 = 1111 - provides self-timed cascade enable with fixed pulse width |
| 16 VCC | Supply voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V - powers internal logic and output buffers; bypass capacitor required |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC163D,653 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min); higher noise margin but incompatible with 3.3 V TTL outputs | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL sources; unsuitable for mixed-voltage backplanes | Select only if system uses pure CMOS logic or has dedicated 3.3 V/5 V translators |
| SN74LS163N | Bipolar TTL process; higher ICC (40 mA typical), slower max frequency (30 MHz), no look-ahead carry | Higher power draw and thermal load; requires external AND gate for TC generation in cascaded designs | Choose only for legacy LS-only systems where pin compatibility and board reuse outweigh efficiency penalties |
Compared with 74HC163D,653 and SN74LS163N, the 74HCT163D,652 uniquely balances TTL interoperability, low power, and integrated look-ahead carry-making it optimal for new designs requiring robust 5 V logic integration without redesign overhead.

FAQ
Can 74HCT163D,652 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HCT163D,652 is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Its TTL-compatible inputs require minimum VIH = 2.0 V, but internal circuitry is not characterized below 4.5 V. Attempting 3.3 V operation risks undefined states, increased propagation delay, and potential failure to meet timing specs.
What is the function of the CEP and CET pins together?
Both CEP (count enable parallel) and CET (count enable carry) must be HIGH for the counter to increment on the CP rising edge. CET additionally enables the TC output and feeds forward to the next cascaded stage. CEP alone does not affect TC - only CET controls terminal count assertion and carry propagation.
How does synchronous reset differ from asynchronous reset in practice?
Synchronous reset (MR) only takes effect on the next CP rising edge, ensuring all flip-flops reset simultaneously and eliminating metastability or partial-state glitches. Asynchronous reset would clear outputs immediately, risking race conditions in multi-stage counters and violating setup/hold timing in downstream logic.
Is external pull-up required on the TC output?
No. TC is an active-HIGH push-pull output capable of sinking 4.0 mA and sourcing 0.4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. It drives standard CMOS/TTL loads directly. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain buses or specific voltage-level translation requirements.
