FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MC74AC161/ACT161 and MC74AC163/ACT163
count modulo−16 binary sequence. From state 15 (HHHH)
they increment to state 0 (LLLL). The clock inputs of all
flip−flops are driven in parallel through a clock buffer. Thus
all changes of the Q outputs (except due to Master Reset of
the ′161) occur as a result of, and synchronous with, the
LOW−to−HIGH transition of the CP input signal. The
circuits have four fundamental modes of operation, in order
of precedence: asynchronous reset (′161), synchronous reset
(′163), parallel load, count−up and hold. Five control inputs
− Master Reset (MR, ′161), Synchronous Reset (SR, ′163),
Parallel Enable (PE), Count Enable Parallel (CEP) and
Count Enable Trickle (CET) − determine the mode of
operation, as shown in the Mode Select Table. A LOW
signal on MR overrides all other inputs and asynchronously
forces all outputs LOW. A LOW signal on SR overrides
counting and parallel loading and allows all 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 (P_n) inputs to be loaded into the flip−flops on the next
rising edge of CP. With PE and MR (′161) or SR (′163)
HIGH, CEP and CET permit counting when both are HIGH.
Conversely, a LOW signal on either CEP or CET inhibits
counting.
The MC74AC161/ACT161 and MC74AC163/ACT163 use
D−type edge−triggered flip−flops and changing the SR, PE,
CEP and CET 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.
The Terminal Count (TC) output is HIGH when CET is
HIGH and counter is in state 15. To implement synchronous
multistage counters, the TC outputs can be used with the
CEP and CET inputs in two different ways. Please refer to
the MC74AC568 data sheet. 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, counters or registers.
