Where to use 74LS83 IC

Although today we have cheap microcontrollers that can perform all arithmetic operations required for our application, in the early days ICs like Adder, Counter, flip-flops, etc were used for the same. This way the complexity and the BOM cost of the circuit design will greatly go low.

The 74LS83 is a Full Adder with Carry and Carry out features. It is a four-stage 4-bit counter, meaning it has four individual Full adder circuits each of 4-bit inside a single package. It can also be easily cascaded if more than four stages are required.
