54AC169•54ACT169
4-Stage Synchronous Bidirectional Counter
General Description
The ’AC/’ACT169 is fully synchronous 4-stage up/down
counter. The ’AC/’ACT169 is a modulo-16 binary counter. It
features 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.

Functional Description
The ’AC/’ACT169 uses 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 the other operations,
as indicated in the Mode Select Table.When PE is LOW, the
data on the P0–P3inputs 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 15 in the Count Up mode. The
TC output state is not a function of the Count Enable Parallel
(CEP) input level. If an illegal state occurs, the ’AC169 will
return to the legitimate sequence within two counts. Since

Functional Description (Continued)
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).
