Synchronous operation is provided by having all
flip-flops clocked simultaneously so that the
outputs change coincident with each other when
so instructed by the count-enable (ENP, ENT) inputs and internal gating. This mode of operation eliminates the
output counting spikes that normally are associated with asynchronous (ripple-clock) counters. However,
counting spikes can occur on the ripple-carry (RCO) output. A buffered clock (CLK) input triggers the four
flip-flops on the rising (positive-going) edge of CLK.
This counter is fully programmable. That is, it can be preset to any number between 0 and 15. Because
presetting is synchronous, a low logic level at the load (LOAD) input disables the counter and causes the outputs
to agree with the setup data after the next clock pulse, regardless of the levels of ENP and ENT.
The clear function is synchronous, and a low logic level at the clear (CLR) input sets all four of the flip-flop outputs
to low after the next low-to-high transition of the clock, regardless of the levels of ENP and ENT. This
synchronous clear allows the count length to be modified easily by decoding the Q outputs for the maximum
count desired. The active-low output of the gate used for decoding is connected to the clear input to
synchronously clear the counter to 0000 (LLLL).
The carry look-ahead circuitry provides for cascading counters for n-bit synchronous applications, without
additional gating. This function is implemented by the ENP and ENT inputs and an RCO output. Both ENP and
ENT must be high to count, and ENT is fed forward to enable RCO. RCO, thus enabled, produces a
high-logic-level pulse while the count is 15 (HHHH). The high-logic-level overflow ripple-carry pulse can be used
to enable successive cascaded stages. Transitions at ENP or ENT are allowed, regardless of the level of CLK.
The SN74F163A features a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at ENP, ENT, or LOAD that modify the
operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function of the counter
(whether enabled, disabled, loading, or counting) is dictated solely by the conditions meeting the setup and hold
times.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
