DESCRIPTION
Synchronous presettable 4-bit binary counters (74ALS161B,
74ALS163B) feature an internal carry look-ahead and can be used
for high speed counting. Synchronous operation is provided by
having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously on the positive-going
edge of the clock. The clock input is buffered.
The outputs of the counters may be preset to High or Low level. A
Low level at the parallel enable (PE
action and causes the data at the D0 – D3 inputs to be loaded into
the counter on the positive-going edge of the clock (provided that
the setup and hold requirements for PE
regardless of the levels at count enable (CEP, CET) inputs.
A Low level at the master reset (MR
of the flip-flops (Q0 – Q3) in 74ALS161B to Low levels, regardless of
the levels at CP, PE
asynchronous clear function).
For the 74ALS163B the clear function is synchronous. A Low level
at the synchronous reset (SR
flip-flops (Q0 – Q3) to Low levels after the next positive-going
transition on the clock (CP) input ( provided that the setup and hold
time requirements for SR
the levels at CP, PE
feature enables the designer to modify the maximum count with only
one external NAND gate (see Figure 1).
The carry look-ahead simplifies serial cascading of the counters.
Both count enable (CEP and CET) inputs must be High to count.
The CET input is fed forward to enable the TC output. The TC
output thus enabled will produce a High output pulse of a duration
approximately equal to the High level output of Q0. This pulse can
be used to enable the next cascaded stage (see Figure 2).
The TC output is subjected to decoding spikes due to internal race
conditions, Therefore, it is not recommended for use as clock or
asynchronous reset for flip-flops, registers, or counters.
