DESCRIPTION
The 74F193 is a 4-bit synchronous up/down counter in the binary
mode. Separate up/down clocks, CP
U
and CP
D
respectively,
simplify operation. The outputs change state synchronously with the
Low-to-High transition of either clock input. If the CP
U
clock is
pulsed while CP
D
is held High, the device will count up. If CP
D
clock
is pulsed while CP
U
is held High, the device will count down. The
device can be cleared at any time by the asynchronous reset pin. It
may also be loaded in parallel by activating the asynchronous
parallel load pin.
Inside the device are four master-slave JK flip-flops with the
necessary steering logic to provide the asynchronous reset,
asynchronous preset, load, and synchronous count up and count
down functions.
Each flip-flop contains JK feedback from slave to master, such that a
Low-to-High transition on the CP
D
input will decrease the count by
one, while a similar transition on the CP
U
input will advance the
count by one.
One clock should be held High while counting with the other,
because the circuit will either count by twos or not at all, depending
on the state of the first JK flip-flop, which cannot toggle as long as
either clock input is Low. Applications requiring reversible operation
must make the reversing decision while the activating clock is High
to avoid erroneous counts.
The Terminal Count Up (TC
U
) and Terminal Count Down (TC
D
)
outputs are normally High. When the circuit has reached the
maximum count state of 15, the next High-to-Low transition of CP
U
will cause TC
U
to go Low. TC
U
will stay Low until CP
U
goes High
again, duplicating the count up clock, although delayed by two gate
delays. Likewise, the TC
D
output will go Low when the circuit is in
the zero state and the CP
D
goes Low. The TC outputs can be used
as the clock input signals to the next higher order circuit in a
multistage counter, since they duplicate the clock waveforms.
Multistage counters will not be fully synchronous since there is a
two-gate delay time difference added for each stage that is added.
The counter may be preset by the asynchronous parallel load
capability of the circuit. Information present on the parallel Data
inputs (D0 - D3) is loaded into the counter and appears on the
outputs regardless of the conditions of the clock inputs when the
Parallel Load (PL) input is Low. A High level on the Master Reset
(MR) input will disable the parallel load gates, override both clock
inputs, and set all Q outputs Low. If one of the clock inputs is Low
during and after a reset or load operation, the next Low-to-High
transition of the clock will be interpreted as a legitimate signal and
will be counted.
