The SN54/74LS290 and SN54/74LS293 are high-speed 4-bit ripple type
counters partitioned into two sections. Each counter has a divide-by-two section and either a divide-by-five (LS290) or divide-by-eight (LS293) section
which are triggered by a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the clock inputs. Each
section can be used separately or tied together (Q to CP
Bi-quinary , or Modulo-16 counters. Both of the counters have a 2-input gated
Master Reset (Clear), and the LS290 also has a 2-input gated Master Set
(Preset 9).
NOTES:
a) 1 TTL Unit Load (U.L.) = 40 µA HIGH/1.6 mA LOW.
b) The Output LOW drive factor is 2.5 U.L. for Military (54) and 5 U.L. for Commercial (74) Temperature Ranges.
c) The Q0 Outputs are guaranteed to drive the full fan-out plus the CP
The LS290 and LS293 are 4-bit ripple type Decade, and
4-Bit Binary counters respectively. Each device consists of
four master/slave flip-flops which are internally connected to
provide a divide-by-two section and a divide-by-five (LS290)
or divide-by-eight (LS293) section. Each section has a
separate clock input which initiates state changes of the
counter on the HIGH-to-LOW clock transition. State changes
of the Q outputs do not occur simultaneously because of
internal ripple delays. Therefore, decoded output signals are
subject to decoding spikes and should not be used for clocks
or strobes. The Q0 output of each device is designed and
specified to drive the rated fan-out plus the CP
device.
A gated AND asynchronous Master Reset (MR1 ⋅ MR2) is
provided on both counters which overrides the clocks and
resets (clears) all the flip-flops. A gated AND asynchronous
Master Set (MS1 ⋅ MS2) is provided on the LS290 which
overrides the clocks and the MR inputs and sets the outputs to
nine (HLLH).
Since the output from the divide-by-two section is not
internally connected to the succeeding stages, the devices
may be operated in various counting modes:
LS290
A. BCD Decade (8421) Counter — the CP
input of the
1
input must be
1
externally connected to the Q0 output. The CP
input
0
receives the incoming count and a BCD count sequence is
produced.
B. Symmetrical Bi-quinary Divide-By-Ten Counter — The Q
output must be externally connected to the CP
input count is then applied to the CP
input. The
0
input and a
1
divide-by-ten square wave is obtained at output Q0.
C. Divide-By-Two and Divide-By-Five Counter — No external
interconnections are required. The first flip-flop is used as a
binary element for the divide-by-two function (CP
input and Q0 as the output). The CP
input is used to obtain
1
as the
0
binary divide-by-five operation at the Q3 output.
LS293
A. 4-Bit Ripple Counter — The output Q0 must be externally
connected to input CP
to input CP
. Simultaneous division of 2, 4, 8, and 16 are
0
. The input count pulses are applied
1
performed at the Q0, Q1, Q2, and Q3 outputs as shown in
the truth table.
B. 3-Bit Ripple Counter — The input count pulses are applied
to input CP
. Simultaneous frequency divisions of 2, 4, and
1
8 are available at the Q1, Q2, and Q3 outputs. Independent
use of the first flip-flop is available if the reset function
coincides with reset of the 3-bit ripple-through counter.
