The SN74F193A is a synchronous, 4-bit binary up/down counter.Synchronous counting operation is provided by having all flip-flopsclocked simultaneously so that the outputs change coincident witheach other when so instructed by the steering logic. This mode ofoperation eliminates the output counting spikes normally associatedwith asynchronous (ripple-clock) counters.
The outputs of the four flip-flops are triggered on alow-to-high-level transition of either count/clock (UP or DOWN)input. The direction of the count is determined by which count inputis pulsed while the other count input is high.
All four counters are fully programmable; that is, each output maybe preset to either level by placing a low on the
A high level applied to the clear (CLR) input forces all outputsto the low level. The clear function is independent of the count andload inputs.
These counters were designed to be cascaded without the need forexternal circuitry. The borrow (
) output produces a low-level pulse while the count iszero (all Q outputs low) and the DOWN input is low. Similarily, thecarry (
) outputproduces a low-level pulse while the count is 15 (all Q outputs high)and the UP input is low. The counters can then be easily cascaded byfeeding the borrow and carry outputs to the count-down and count-upinputs, respectively, of the succeeding counter.
The SN74F193A is characterized for operation from 0°C to70°C.
