Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratis only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under !recommended operating conditons' is no implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1:The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.
DescriptionThese synchronous, presettable, 4-bit decade and binary counters feature an internal carry look-ahead circuitry for application in high-speed counting designs. The SN54ALS162B is a 4-bit decade counter. The !flALS161B, !flALS163 !flAS161, and !flAS163 devices are 4-bit bina counters. Synchronous operation is provided by having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously so that the outputs change coincidentally with each other when instructed by the count-enable (ENP, ENT) inputs and internal gating. This mode of operation SN54ALS162B eliminates the output counting spikes normally associated with asynchronous (ripple-clock) counters. A buffered clock (CLK) input triggers the four flip-flops on the rising (positive-going) edge of the clock input waveform.
These counters of SN54ALS162B are fully programmable; they can be preset to any number between 0 and 9 or 15. Because presetting is synchronous, setting up a low level at the load (LOAD) input disables the counter and causes the outputs to agree with the setup data after the next clock pulse, regardless of the levels of the enable inputs.
The clear function for the !flALS161B and SN54ALS162B devices is asynchronous. A low level at the clear (CLR) input , or enable inputs. The clear sets all four of the flip-flop outputs low, regardless of the levels of the CLK, LOAD function for the SN54ALS162B, !flALS163B, and !flAS163 devices is synchronous, and a low level at CLR sets all four of the flip-flop outputs low after the next clock pulse, regardless of the levels of the enable inputs. This synchronous clear allows the count length to be modified easily by decoding the Q outputs for the maximum count desired. The active-low output of the gate SN54ALS162B used for decoding is connected to CLR to synchronously clear the counter to 0000 (LLLL).
The carry look-ahead circuitry of SN54ALS162B provides for cascading counters for n-bit synchronous applications without additional gating. ENP and ENT inputs and a ripple-carry (RCO) output are instrumental in accomplishing this function. Both ENP and ENT SN54ALS162B must be high to count, and ENT is fed forward to enable RCO. RCO, thus enabled
