The SN74LV8153PW is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a dual 4-bit binary up/down counter that can be used in various applications requiring counting functionality.
Key Features:
1. Dual 4-bit Counter: The IC features two independent 4-bit binary counters in a single package. Each counter can count up or down based on the input signals provided.
2. Up/Down Counting: The SN74LV8153PW has separate up and down counting pins, allowing the user to control the direction of counting. This flexibility makes it suitable for applications requiring both increasing and decreasing count operations.
3. Asynchronous Parallel Load: The IC provides a parallel load input pin through which an initial count value can be loaded into the counter. This feature allows the user to quickly set the desired starting value for counting.
4. Cascade Capability: The SN74LV8153PW supports cascading, which means multiple units can be interconnected to form larger counters. By connecting the carry output of one counter to the carry input of the next counter, a wider counting range can be achieved.
5. Clock Enable and Reset: The IC includes clock enable and reset pins, offering additional control over the counter operation. The clock enable pin can be used to start or stop counting, while the reset pin resets the counter to its initial state
