Product details
Overview
74HCT163D,653 from Nexperia is a TTL-level-compatible, synchronous 4-bit binary counter with parallel load, synchronous reset, and look-ahead carry-designed for precise modulus-N counting in digital control logic. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers glitch-free outputs via edge-triggered clock (CP), and supports cascading via CEP/CET/TC signals. Used in industrial timer modules, programmable logic controllers, and address sequencing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT163D,653 datasheet, 74HCT163D,653 pinout, 74HCT163D,653 application, or 74HCT163D,653 equivalent, this device offers deterministic timing (tpd = 23–49 ns @ VCC = 4.5 V), robust noise immunity (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), and seamless integration into 5 V TTL-compatible systems requiring synchronous presettable counting.
Technical Context
This device implements four edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with synchronous parallel load and reset, enabling deterministic state transitions on every rising CP edge. Its dual count-enable inputs (CEP and CET) gate counting and feed forward to TC, while internal look-ahead carry ensures predictable propagation across cascaded stages.
The synchronous MR input forces Q0–Q3 to LOW on the next CP edge regardless of PE, CEP, or CET states-enabling clean modulus reconfiguration with minimal external logic. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC, and ESD protection exceeds 2 kV HBM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V @ VCC = 5 V) |
| Count Width | 4-bit binary (Q0–Q3); terminal count (TC) asserts at 1111 → 0000 transition |
| Propagation Delay | tpd(CP→Qn) = 23 ns typ, 49 ns max @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - sets max cascade clock rate |
| Supply Range | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL bus systems |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | SO16 (SOT109-1), 3.9 mm body width - surface-mount compatible with IPC-7351B footprint |
Pinout & Package
74HCT163D,653 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and standard JEDEC MS-012 outline. Pin 1 is marked by a bevelled corner or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Synchronous master reset | Active-LOW; forces Q0–Q3 = 0000 on next CP rising edge - enables clean modulus reconfiguration |
| 2 CP | Clock input | Rising-edge triggered; all flip-flops update simultaneously - eliminates ripple delay and output glitches |
| 3–6 D0–D3 | Parallel data inputs | Loaded into Q0–Q3 when PE = LOW on CP edge - supports presetting any 4-bit value |
| 7 CEP | Count enable parallel | Enables counting only when HIGH; used with CET to gate TC and enable cascaded stage |
| 8 GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O - must be low-impedance for stable timing |
| 9 PE | Parallel enable | Active-LOW; enables parallel load regardless of CEP/CET state - decouples loading from count enable |
| 10 CET | Count enable carry | Feeds forward to TC; TC goes HIGH only when CET = HIGH and counter = 1111 - synchronizes multi-stage carry |
| 11–14 Q3–Q0 | Flip-flop outputs | Q0 LSB, Q3 MSB; outputs reflect current count state - used for feedback, decode, or display driving |
| 15 TC | Terminal count output | HIGH pulse ≈ duration of Q0 HIGH - directly enables next cascaded counter's CEP/CET without external logic |
| 16 VCC | Supply voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V; powers all logic - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling near pin 16 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous reset (MR) | Eliminates race conditions during modulus reconfiguration - no external debounce or gating required |
| Look-ahead carry (TC) | Reduces inter-stage propagation delay in multi-counter chains - enables higher overall system clock rates |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 5 V TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) without level-shifting circuitry |
| Clamp diode inputs | Permits safe interface to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors |
| ESD robustness | HBM > 2000 V, MM > 200 V - enhances reliability in automated PCB assembly and field-deployed equipment |
Applications
| Industrial Timer Modules | Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) |
|---|---|

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 @ VCC = 4.5 V); wider VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V control + 5 V peripherals) but requires level translation when interfacing to TTL | Select when operating below 4.5 V or integrating with HC-family logic; verify VIH/VIL margins with driver outputs |
| SN74LS163N | Bipolar TTL technology; higher ICC (20 mA typical), slower tpd (25–40 ns), narrower temp range (-40 °C to +85 °C) | Legacy board replacement only; incompatible with modern low-power designs due to higher static current and thermal limits | Use only for direct LS-family drop-in replacement; avoid in new designs due to obsolete process and supply constraints |
Compared with 74HC163D,653 and SN74LS163N, the 74HCT163D,653 uniquely balances TTL-level interoperability, low power (ICC < 160 μA), and extended temperature support - making it optimal for new 5 V industrial control designs requiring long-term supply stability.

FAQ
Can 74HCT163D,653 operate at 3.3 V?
No - the 74HCT163D,653 is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V) remain valid, but VOH drops below TTL HIGH minimum (3.0 V), risking downstream logic misreads. Use 74HC163D,653 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the minimum pulse width required on CP?
The minimum CP HIGH and LOW pulse width is 20 ns each at VCC = 4.5 V (Table 7). This corresponds to a maximum guaranteed clock frequency of 26 MHz under standard test conditions (CL = 50 pF), though layout-dependent signal integrity may require margin.
How does TC behave during parallel load?
TC remains LOW during parallel load (PE = LOW), even if D0–D3 = 1111. TC only asserts HIGH when CET = HIGH and the counter reaches 1111 *during counting* - ensuring TC reflects actual count progression, not loaded state.
Is MR asynchronous or synchronous?
MR is synchronous: it is sampled on the rising edge of CP and clears Q0–Q3 to 0000 on the *next* CP edge. This avoids metastability and ensures deterministic timing - unlike asynchronous resets, MR cannot cause race conditions in pipelined logic.
