DM74LS193
Synchronous 4-Bit Binary Counter with Dual Clock
General Descript ion
The DM74LS193 circuit is a synchronous up/down 4-bit
binary c ounter. Synchronou s oper ation i s pro vided b y ha v-
ing all fl ip -flo ps clocked si m ulta neo usl y, so that th e outputs
change together 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 master-slave flip-flops are triggered
by a LOW-to-HIGH level transition of either count (clock)
input. The direction of counting is determined by which
count input is pulsed while the other count input is held
HIGH.
The counter is fully programmable; that is, each output may
be pres et to e ithe r le vel b y en ter ing the de sired data at t he
inputs while the load input is LOW. The output w ill change
indepen dently of the count pulses. This feat ure allows t he
counters to be use d as modulo-N dividers by simply modi-
fying the count length with the preset inputs.
A clear input has been provided which, when taken to a
high level, forces all output s to the low level; independe nt
of the count and load inputs. The clear, count, and load
inputs are buff ere d to lowe r the dr i ve req uire me nts of cloc k
drivers, etc., required for long words.
These c oun ter s we re d esigned to b e cascaded wi tho ut the
need for external circuitry. Both borrow and carry outputs
are available to cascade both the up and down counting
functions. The borrow output produces a pulse equal in
width to the count down input when the counter underflows.
Simila rly, the carry outp ut produces a pulse equal in width
to the count d ow n in pu t w hen an o verf l ow con dit ion exis ts .
The coun ters can then be easily cascaded by feeding the
borrow and carry o utputs to th e count dow n and count up
inputs respectively of the succeeding counte r.
