SN74ALS867ANT Dual 4-Bit Binary Counters

The SN74ALS867ANT from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, dual 4-bit binary counter integrated circuit. This device is part of the advanced Schottky low-power Schottky (ALS) logic family, which is renowned for its speed and energy efficiency. The SN74ALS867ANT is specifically designed to meet the demands of high-speed counting applications.

Key Features:

• Logic Family: ALS - Advanced Low-Power Schottky
• Counting Sequence: Up
• Operation Mode: Dual 4-Bit
• Output Type: Differential
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Package / Case: 24-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

The SN74ALS867ANT features two individual 4-bit counters that can be used independently or connected in various configurations to create larger counters, such as an 8-bit, 12-bit, or 16-bit counter. Each 4-bit counter has a clear and a clock input, as well as outputs for the four bits. The clear input allows for the synchronous resetting of the counter, ensuring that all outputs are reset simultaneously.

With a typical propagation delay of only 11ns and a power dissipation of 1 mW per gate, the SN74ALS867ANT provides a balance of speed and power efficiency. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including computers, industrial control systems, and high-speed data processing equipment.

The device is packaged in a 24-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), which is suitable for through-hole mounting, allowing for easy integration into existing designs. The SN74ALS867ANT operates over a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable performance in most standard operating environments.

For designers and engineers looking for a reliable and efficient solution for high-speed counting applications, the SN74ALS867ANT from Texas Instruments is an excellent choice that combines performance and durability.
