ON Semiconductor MC74HC393AFEL Dual Binary Counter

The ON Semiconductor MC74HC393AFEL is a high-performance integrated circuit designed for counting applications in a wide range of electronic devices. This dual 4-stage binary ripple counter features advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology, which ensures low power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation.

Each counter of the MC74HC393AFEL consists of four master-slave flip-flops with internal gating and steering logic to provide asynchronous reset and count functions. With a typical count frequency of up to 50MHz, this binary counter can be utilized in high-speed systems, making it an ideal choice for designers looking to implement precise timing and control operations.

One of the key advantages of the MC74HC393AFEL is its versatility. It can be used in a variety of applications, including frequency division, time delay generation, and event counting. The device's two individual counters can be used separately or cascaded together to create an 8-stage counter, providing further flexibility in design.

The MC74HC393AFEL operates over a wide voltage range from 2V to 6V and is compatible with standard TTL logic levels. This feature allows for easy integration into mixed-voltage systems without the need for additional level-shifting components, simplifying the design and reducing overall system cost.

For protection and reliability, the MC74HC393AFEL includes inputs and outputs that are designed to withstand ±20mA of current. Furthermore, it is available in a compact surface-mount package, specifically the SOP-14 (Small Outline Package with 14 leads), which is suitable for automated assembly processes and space-constrained applications.

Whether you are working on consumer electronics, industrial timers, or sophisticated communication devices, the ON Semiconductor MC74HC393AFEL provides a dependable and efficient solution for your counting needs. Its robust design, coupled with ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, ensures long-term performance and reliability.
