Synchronous 4-Bit Up/Down Binary Counter

General Description

This synchronous presettable counter features an internal

carry look-ahead for cascading in high-speed counting ap-

plications. Synchronous operation is provided by having all

flip-flops clocked simultaneously, so that the outputs all

change at the same time when so instructed by the count-

enable inputs and internal gating. This mode of operation

helps eliminate the output counting spikes that are normally

associated with asynchronous (ripple clock) counters. A

buffered clock input triggers the four master-slave flip-flops

on the rising edge of the clock waveform.

This counter is fully programmable; that is, the outputs may

each be preset either high or low. The load input circuitry

allows loading with the carry-enable output of cascaded

counters. As loading is synchronous, setting up a low level

at the load input disables the counter and causes the out-

puts to agree with the data inputs after the next clock pulse.

The carry look-ahead circuitry permits cascading counters

for n-bit synchronous applications without additional gating.

Both count-enable inputs (P and T) must be low to count.

The direction of the count is determined by the level of the

up/down input. When the input is high, the counter counts

up; when low, it counts down. Input T is fed forward to en-

able the carry outputs. The carry output thus enabled will

produce a low-level output pulse with a duration approxi-

mately equal to the high portion of the QAoutput when

counting up, and approximately equal to the low portion of

the QAoutput when counting down. This low-level overflow

carry pulse can be used to enable successively cascaded

stages. Transitions at the enable P or T inputs are allowed

regardless of the level of the clock input. All inputs are diode

clamped to minimize transmission-line effects, thereby sim-

plifying system design.

This counter features a fully independent clock circuit.

Changes at control inputs (enable P, enable T, load, up/

down), which modify the operating mode, have no effect

until clocking occurs. The function of the counter (whether

enabled, disabled, loading, or counting) will be dictated

solely by the conditions meeting the stable setup and hold

times.
