description
The SN74F190A is a synchronous, 4-bit decade reversible up/down counter. Synchronous counting operation
is provided by having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously so that the outputs change coincident with each other
when so instructed by the steering logic. This mode of operation eliminates the output counting spikes normally
associated with asynchronous (ripple-clock) counters.
The outputs of the four flip-flops are triggered on a low-to-high-level transition of the clock (CLK) input if the
enable (CTEN) input is low. A high at CTEN inhibits counting. The direction of the count is determined by the
level of the down/up (D/U) input. When D/U is low, the counter counts up, and when D/U is high, it counts down.
This counter features a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at the control (CTEN and D/U) inputs that modify
the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function of the
counter is dictated solely by the condition meeting the stable setup and hold times. This counter is fully
programmable; that is, it may be preset to any number between 0 and 9 by placing a low on the load input and
entering the desired data at the data inputs. The output changes to agree with the data inputs independent of
the level of the clock input. This feature allows the counter to be used as a modulo-N divider by simply modifying
the count length with the preset inputs.
Two outputs have been made available to perform the cascading function: ripple clock and maximum/minimum
count. The latter output produces a high-level output pulse with a duration approximately equal to one complete
cycle of the clock while the count is minimum (0) counting down or maximum (9) counting up. The ripple-clock
(RCO) output produces a low-level output pulse under those same conditions, but only while the clock input is
low. The counter can easily be cascaded by feeding the ripple-clock output to the enable input of the succeeding
counter if parallel clocking is used or to the clock input if parallel enabling is used. The maximum/minimum count
(MAX/MIN) output can be used to accomplish look-ahead for high speed operation.
The SN74F190A is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
