What are the advantages of implementing a synchronous counter with the 74LS163 integrated circuit versus using discrete flip flops and gates?

The main advantage is that the 74ls193 can count either up or down, where as the 74ls163 can only count down.
However, if you are asking about the 74ls93 instead of the 74ls193, the 74ls93 has a divide by 12 counter which the 74ls163 does not, but the 74ls93 isn't a synchronous counter so I assumed you meant the 74ls193.

∙ 8y agoNO ONE WANTS TO READ THIS MUCH FOR A SIMPLE ANSWER !! Just consider for a moment ... there's not even any such thing as a discrete flip-flop
or gate. Those functions are implemented in an appropriate combination of several
components. You can do gates with diodes, but I'm pretty sure you need active
elements to make flip-flops. They used to be done with vacuum tubes, plus some
supporting components. Now it's easy to get cheap flip-flops and gates packed in
a little plastic caterpillar the size of a fingernail.
The point is that whenever a frequently-used assembly becomes available as a
mass-produced 'black box' or 'logic block', it means there's that much less that
the system designer has to be concerned with in order to make his devices work.
The software developer would much rather have his .dll library, and not have to
write every operation from scratch. The tinkerer is much happier with integrated
flip-flops, gates, timers, and FPGAs, than he would be if he needed a room just for
his resistor assortment. And the system engineer is grateful for the microprocessor-
controlled motherboard, with a pound of VLSI on it, and a 10 MB .pdf file with nothing
but the truth-tables and timing diagrams for the board.
Each successful higher level of integration means greater convenience, less time,
less expense, and usually less DC power and cooling for the people who use it.
And, may I say sadly, a whole new generation of people who have no concept of
what's inside the black box, how it works, or what obstacles have been overcome
and breakthroughs accomplished, to give him this device that sells for pennies, fits
in his shirt pocket, and still works even after it's been in there and through the wash
a few times !
Even here on Layer #1 where I've always worked. I believe I'm at the layer
that's closest to the miracles, but I know that there are miracles nonetheless,
and I try to remain appreciative of everything that has to happen in order to
give me a dial tone.

Is OP-amp a discrete component?
An opamp is a circuit of many components. It may either be built of many discrete components or be a single integrated component.
Why is mainframe used in programs?
A mainframe is just a physically very large computer, it is programmed no differently than minicomputers and microcomputers. All computers were mainframe computers before the early 1960s (because of the size of vacuum tubes and the first discrete transistors), when discrete transistors and then integrated circuits made possible the smaller minicomputers. In 1971 Intel introduced the microprocessor integrated circuit making the even smaller microcomputers possible.
What type of transistors can be used in an ECM to switch diesel engine electronic unit injectors?
ECMs use large scale integrated circuits that are usually embedded in epoxy. They do not contain discrete transistors and are generally not designed to be serviced.
What is the definition of discrete manufacturing?
Discrete is something that is not continuous, or in other words. Not doing it continuous.
What is the semiconductor junction diode?
A single crystal of semiconductor material, part doped with N type impurities and part doped with P type impurities, with the N and P types meeting at a single junction. This junction conducts only when forward biased. Such a diode may be an independent discrete component or it may be part of an integrated circuit (in which case the entire integrated circuit is the single crystal).
Advantages of using integrated circuits?
As opposed to discrete components or vacuum tubes:-Small size.Low power consumptionEase of mass production
What are the two kinds of computer video card?
The two types are integrated and discrete. Discrete video cards are much better than integrated.
What Are the advantages of implementing an asynchronous counter with the 74LS93 intergrated circuit versus using discrete flip-flop and gates?
its fantastic,pretty and everything else!! hoope it helps!
Does Intel Pentium B950 has integrated or discrete graphics?
Integrated. HD2000 to be exact.
Is OP-amp a discrete component?
An opamp is a circuit of many components. It may either be built of many discrete components or be a single integrated component.
When does a structure becomes discrete?
Discrete is the opposite of integrated and means using individual components. That would include using transistors instead of computer chips.

Who would best benefit from a discrete video card vs an integrated video card?
the gamer
Can you make integrated circuits in physics lab of your school?
No. School physics labs are not equipped to manufacture integrated circuits, and probably not even to manufacture discrete transistors.
What is the difference between a discrete circuit and integrated circuit?
Discrete components - each component: vacuum tube, transistor, resistor, capacitor, etc. is individually packaged, then connected together to make a circuit.Integrated circuit - multiple components are packaged together making a complete circuit as one integrated device. Modern ICs frequently contain hundreds of billions of components in one device.Discrete component circuitry is bulkier than ICs because more packaging is involved.
What are the advantages and disadvantages transforming of continuous data into either discrete or ordinal data?
1.) Discrete: restricted to integers; ordinal subjective
Is discrete is a type of resistor?
A discrete component is one where the package contains only one circuit element. The opposite is an "integrated circuit" (aka a "silicon chip" or "chip") where a package contains many circuit elements. It's not that "discrete" is a type of resistor, it's that a resistor is a type of discrete component.
