FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The F568 counts modulo-10 in the BCD (8421) sequence.
From state 9 (HLLH) it will increment to 0 (LLLL) in the Up
mode; in Down mode it will decrement from 0 to 9.The F569
counts in the modulo-16 binary sequence. From state 15 it will
increment to state 0 in the Up mode; in the Down mode it will
decrement from 0 to 15. The clock inputs of all flip-flops are
driven in parallel through a clock buffer. All state changes (except due to Master Reset) occur synchronously with the LOWto-HIGH transition of the Clock Pulse (CP) input signal.
The circuits have five fundamental modes of operation, in
order of precedence: asynchronous reset, synchronous reset,
parallel load, count and hold. Five control inputs — Master Reset (MR
), Synchronous Reset (SR), Parallel Enable (PE),
Count Enable Parallel (CEP
) and Count Enable Trickle (CET)
— plus the Up/Down (U/D
) input, determine the mode of operation, as shown in the Mode Select Table. A LOW signal on
MR
overrides all other inputs and asynchronously forces the
flip-flop Q outputs LOW. A LOW signal on SR
overrides counting and parallel loading and allows the Q outputs to go LOW
on the next rising edge of CP. A LOW signal on PE
overrides
counting and allows information on the Parallel Data (Pn) inputs to be loaded into the flip-flops on the next rising edge of
CP. With MR
, SR and PE HIGH, CEP and CET permit counting
when both are LOW. Conversely , a HIGH signal on either CEP
or CET inhibits counting.
The F568 and F569 use edge-triggered flip-flops and
changing the SR
, PE, CEP , CET or U/D inputs when the CP
is in either state does not cause errors, provided that the recommended setup and hold times, with respect to the rising
edge of CP, are observed.
Two types of outputs are provided as overflow/underflow in-
dicators. The Terminal Count (TC
) output is normally HIGH
and goes LOW providing CET
is LOW, when the counter
reaches zero in the Down mode, or reaches maximum (9 for
the F568,15 for the F569) in the Up mode. TC
will then remain
LOW until a state change occurs, whether by counting or presetting, or until U/D
or CET is changed. T o implement synchronous multistage counters, the connections between the TC
output and the CEP and CET inputs can provide either slow
or fast carry propagation. Figure A shows the connections for
simple ripple carry, in which the clock period must be longer
than the CP to TC
delay of the first stage, plus the cumulative
CET
to TC delays of the intermediate stages, plus the CET to
CP setup time of the last stage. This total delay plus setup time
sets the upper limit on clock frequency. For faster clock rates,
the carry lookahead connections shown in Figure B are recommended. In this scheme the ripple delay through the intermediate stages commences with the same clock that causes
the first stage to tick over from max to min in the Up mode, or
min to max in the Down mode, to start its final cycle. Since this
final cycle takes 10 (F568) or 16 (F569) clocks to complete,
there is plenty of time for the ripple to progress through the intermediate stages. The critical timing that limits the clock peri-
od is the CP to TC
delay of the first stage plus the CEP to CP
setup time of the last stage. The TC
output is subject to decoding spikes due to internal race conditions and is therefore not
recommended for use as a clock or asynchronous reset for
flip-flops, registers or counters. For such applications, the
Clocked Carry (CC
) output is provided. The CC output is nor-
mally HIGH. When CEP
, CET , and TC are LOW, the CC output
will go LOW when the clock next goes LOW and will stay LOW
until the clock goes HIGH again, as shown in the CC
Truth
Table. When the Output Enable (OE
) is LOW, the parallel data
outputs O0–O3 are active and follow the flip-flop Q outputs. A
HIGH signal on OE
forces O0–O3 to the High Z state but does
not prevent counting, loading or resetting.
