DESCRIPTION
The UT54ACS163 and the UT54ACTS163 are synchronous
presettable 4-bit binary counters that feature internal carry lookahead logic for high-speed counting designs. Synchronous operation occurs by having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously
so that the outputs change coincident with each other when instructed by the count-enable inputs and internal gating. A buffered clock input triggers the four flip-flops on the rising (positive-going) edge of the clock input waveform.
The counters are fully programmable (i.e., they may be preset
to any number between 0 and 15). Presetting is synchronous;
applying a low level at the load input disables the counter and
causes the outputs to agree with the load data after the next clock
pulse.
The clear function is synchronous and a low level at the clear
input sets all four of the flip-flop outputs low after the next clock
pulse. This synchronous clear allows the count length to be modified by decoding the Q outputs for the maximum count desired.
The counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes
at control inputs (ENP, ENT, or LOAD) that modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until
clocking occurs. The function of the counter (whether enabled,
disabled, loading, or counting) will be dictated solely by the
conditions meeting the stable setup and hold times.
The devices are characterized over full military temperature
range of -55 C to +125 C.

FUNCTION TABLE
H = High voltage level h = High voltage level one setup time prior to the low-to-high clock transition
L = Low voltage level l = Low voltage level one setup time prior to the low-to-high clock transition
Notes:
1. The RCO output is high when ENT is high and the counter is at terminal count HHHH.
2. The high-to-low transition of ENP or ENT should only occur while CLK is high for conventional operations.
3. The low-to-high transition of LOAD or CLR should only occur while CLK is high for conventional operations.

2. Supplied as a design limit but not guaranteed or tested.
3. Per MIL-PRF-38535, for current density 5.0E5 amps/cm2, the maximum product of load capacitance (per output buffer) times frequency should not exceed
3,765 pF/MHz.
4. Not more than one output may be shorted at a time for maximum duration of one second.
5. Capacitance measured for initial qualification and when design changes may affect the value. Capacitance is measured between the designated terminal and VSS
at frequency of 1MHz and a signal amplitude of 50mV rms maximum.
6. Maximum allowable relative shift equals 50mV.
7. All specifications valid for radiation dose 1E6 rads(Si).
8. Power does not include power contribution of any TTL output sink current.
9. Power dissipation specified per switching output.
10. This value is guaranteed based on characterization data, but not tested.
