The 74ACT163 is an advanced high-speed CMOS SYNCRONOUS PRESETTABLE COUNTER fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and double-layer metal wiring C2MOS tecnology. It is a 4 bit binary counter with Synchronous Clear. The circuit have four fundamental modes of operation, in order of preference: synchronous reset, parallel load, count-up and hold. Four control inputs, Master Reset (CLEAR), Parallel Enable Input (LOAD ), Count Enable Input (PE) and Count Enable Carry Input (TE), determine the mode of operation as shown in the Truth Table. A LOW signal on CLEAR overrides counting and |
