(TOP VIEW)
These synchronous 4-bit up/down binary
presettable counters feature an internal carry
look-ahead circuitry for cascading in high-speed
counting applications. Synchronous operation is
provided by having all flip-flops clocked
simultaneously so that the outputs change
coincident with each other when so instructed by
the count-enable (ENP, ENT) inputs and internal
gating. This mode of operation 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 waveform.

These counters are fully programmable; that is,
they may be preset to either level. The load-input
circuitry allows loading with the carry-enable
output of cascaded counters. Because loading is
synchronous, setting up a low level at the load
(LOAD) input disables the counter and causes the
outputs to agree with the data inputs after the next
clock pulse.
NC − No internal connection
The internal carry look-ahead circuitry provides for cascading counters for n-bit synchronous application without
additional gating. ENP and ENT inputs and a ripple-carry output (RCO) are instrumental in accomplishing this
function. Both ENP and ENT must be low to count. The direction of the count is determined by the level of the
up/down (U/D) input. When U/D is high, the counter counts up; when low, it counts down. ENT is fed forward
to enable RCO. RCO, thus enabled, produces a low-level pulse while the count is zero (all inputs low) counting
down or maximum (15) counting up. This low-level overflow ripple-carry pulse can be used to enable successive
cascaded stages. Transitions at ENP or ENT are allowed regardless of the level of the clock input. All inputs
are diode clamped to minimize transmission-line effects, thereby simplifying system design.
These counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at control inputs (ENP, ENT, LOAD, or U/D)
that modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function
of the counter (whether enabled, disabled, loading, or counting) is dictated solely by the conditions meeting the
stable setup and hold times.
The SN54ALS169B and SN54AS169A are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range
of −55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS169B and SN74AS169A are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
