The MC10E/100E137 is a very high speed binary ripple counter. The
two least significant bits were designed with very fast edge rates while the
more significant bits maintain standard ECLinPS output edge rates.
This allows the counter to operate at very high frequencies while
maintaining a moderate power dissipation level.

The device is ideally suited for multiple frequency clock generation as
well as a counter in a high performance ATE time measurement board.
Both asynchronous and synchronous enables are available to
maximize the device’s flexibility for various applications. The
asynchronous enable input, A_Start, when asserted enables the counter
while overriding any synchronous enable signals. The E137 features
XORed enable inputs, EN1 and EN2, which are synchronous to the CLK
input. When only one synchronous enable is asserted the counter
becomes disabled on the next CLK transition; all outputs remain in the
previous state poised for the other synchronous enable or A_Start to be
asserted to re-enable the counter. Asserting both synchronous enables
causes the counter to become enabled on the next transition of the CLK.
If EN1 (or EN2) and CLK edges are coincident, sufficient delay has been
inserted in the CLK path (to compensate for the XOR gate delay and the
internal D-flip flop setup time) to insure that the synchronous enable
signal is clocked correctly, hence, the counter is disabled.
The E137 can also be driven single-endedly utilizing the VBB output
supply as the voltage reference for the CLK input signal. If a single-ended
signal is to be used the VBB pin should be connected to the CLK
input and
bypassed to ground via a 0.01µF capacitor. VBB can only source/sink
0.5mA, therefore it should be used as a switching reference for the E137
only.
All input pins left open will be pulled LOW via an input pulldown resistor. Therefore, do not leave the differential CLK inputs
open. Doing so causes the current source transistor of the input clock gate to become saturated, thus upsetting the internal bias
regulators and jeopardizing the stability of the device.
The asynchronous Master Reset resets the counter to an all zero state upon assertion.
