Description
The CD54AC191 and CD54ACT191 are asynchronously
presettable binary up/down synchronous counters that utilize
Advanced CMOS Logic technology. Presetting the counter to
the number on preset data inputs (P0-P3) is accomplished
by setting LOW the asynchronous parallel load input (PL).
Counting occurs when PL is HIGH, Count Enable (CE) is
LOW, and the Up/Down (U/D) input is either LOW for up-
counting or HIGH for down-counting. The counter is incre-
mented or decremented synchronously with the LOW-to-
HIGH transition of the clock.
When an overflow or underflow of the counter occurs, the
Terminal Count (TC) output, which is LOW during counting,
goes HIGH and remains HIGH for one clock cycle. This out-
put can be used for look-ahead carry in high-speed cascad-
ing (see Figure 12). The TC output also initiates the Ripple
Clock (RC) output which, normally HIGH, goes LOW and
remains LOW for the low-level cascaded using the Ripple
Count output.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in
a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check
http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder
