4-STAGE SYNCHRONOUS
BIDIRECTIONAL COUNTERS
The MC54/74F168 and MC54/74F169 are fully synchronous 4-stage up/
down counters. The F168 is a BCD decade counter; the F169 is a modulo-16
binary counter. Both feature a preset capability for programmable operation,
carry lookahead for easy cascading, and a U/D
input to control the direction
of counting. All state changes, whether in counting or parallel loading, are initiated by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the clock.
• Asynchronous Counting and Loading
• Built-In Lookahead Carry Capability
• Presettable for Programmable Operation

MC54/74F168 • MC54/74F169
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The F168 and F169 use edge-triggered J-K type flip-flops
and have no constraints on changing the control or data input
signals in either state of the clock. The only requirement is that
the various inputs attain the desired state at least a setup time
before the rising edge of the clock and remain valid for the recommended hold time thereafter. The parallel load operation
takes precedence over other operations, as indicated in the
Mode Select Table. When PE
is LOW, the data on the P0-P
3
inputs enters the flip-flops on the next rising edge of the clock.
In order for counting to occur, both CEP
and CET must be
LOW and PE
must be HIGH; the U/D input then determines
the direction of counting. The Terminal Count (TC
) output is
normally HIGH and goes LOW, provided that CET
is LOW,
when a counter reaches zero in the Count Down mode or
reaches 9 (15 for the F169) in the Count Up mode. The TC
output state is not a function of the Count Enable Parallel
(CEP
) input level. The TC output of the F168 decade counter
can also be LOW in the illegal states 11, 13, and 15, which can
occur when power is turned on or via parallel loading. If an illegal state occurs, the F168 will return to the legitimate sequence within two counts. Since the TC
signal is derived by
decoding the flip-flop states, there exists the possibility of decoding spikes on TC. For this reason the use of TC as a clock
signal is not recommended (see logic equations below).
