The SN74HC163N Synchronous 4-Bit Binary Counter is a reliable high-speed CMOS logic device designed for accurate digital counting and timing applications. Supplied in a standard 16-pin DIP through-hole package, it is easy to use in breadboard prototypes, educational projects, repairs, and permanent circuit designs.
As a synchronous counter, all internal stages are clocked simultaneously, providing predictable and stable operation at higher speeds compared to ripple counters. The SN74HC163N includes synchronous clear, load, and enable inputs, making it highly flexible for use in counters, frequency dividers, timers, and control logic. Fully stocked in the UK for fast, dependable delivery.
