SN74LV393APW Dual 4-Bit Binary Counters

The SN74LV393APW from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, dual 4-bit binary counter integrated circuit, designed for use in a wide range of digital applications. This device features two individual counters in a single package, providing users with a compact and efficient solution for frequency division and counter operations.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Binary Counter
• Number of Bits per Element: 4
• Number of Elements: 2
• Supply Voltage Range: 2 V to 5.5 V
• Maximum Clock Frequency: 100 MHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Package / Case: TSSOP-14
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The device is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for commercial, industrial, and even some harsher environments. Its low-voltage operation from 2 V to 5.5 V allows it to be used in both traditional 5V systems and newer low-voltage applications, providing design flexibility.

The SN74LV393APW's high clock frequency capability of up to 100 MHz facilitates its use in high-speed systems, and its dual counter design allows for cascading with other counter devices for extended count lengths. Each counter has a separate clock input (CLK), a reset input (CLR), and output (Q) for each bit.

The TSSOP-14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) ensures a small footprint on the PCB, optimizing board space without sacrificing performance. The surface mount design aligns with modern automated assembly processes, making it suitable for high-volume production.

Overall, the SN74LV393APW is a reliable and versatile component that delivers Texas Instruments' quality and performance, making it an excellent choice for designers looking to implement effective timing and counting solutions in their digital systems.
