description
These binary counters are programmable and
offer synchronous and asynchronous clearing as
well as synchronous and asynchronous loading.
All synchronous functions are executed on the
positive-going edge of the clock.
The clear function is initiated by applying a low
level to either asynchronous clear (ACLR
) or
synchronous clear (SCLR
). ACLR (direct clear)
overrides all other functions of the device, while
SCLR
overrides only the other synchronous
functions. Data is loaded from the A, B, C, and D
inputs by applying a low level to asynchronous
load (ALOAD
) or by the combination of a low level
at synchronous load (SLOAD
) and a
positive-going clock transition. The counting
function is enabled only when enable P (ENP),
enable T (ENT), ACLR
, ALOAD, SCLR, and
SLOAD
are all high.
A high level at the output-enable (OE
) input forces the Q outputs into the high-impedance state, and a low level
enables those outputs. Counting is independent of OE
. ENT is fed forward to enable the ripple-carry output
(RCO) to produce a high-level pulse while the count is maximum (15). The clocked carry output (CCO) produces
a high-level pulse for a duration equal to that of the low level of the clock when RCO is high and the counter is
enabled (ENP and ENT are high); otherwise, CCO is low. CCO does not have the glitches commonly associated
with a ripple-carry output. Cascading is normally accomplished by connecting RCO or CCO of the first counter
to ENT of the next counter. However , for very high-speed counting, RCO should be used for cascading because
CCO does not become active until the clock returns to the low level.
The SN54ALS561A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
The SN74ALS561A is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
