Each of these monolithic circuits contains eight
master-slave flip-flops and additional gating to
implement two individual 4-bit decade counters in
a single package. Each decade counter has
individual clock (1CLK, 2CLK), clear (1CLR,
2CLR), and set-to-9 (1SET9, 2SET9) inputs. BCD
count sequences of any length up to
divide-by-100 can be implemented with a single
’LS490 device. Buffering on each output is
provided to significantly reduce susceptibility to
collector commutation. All inputs are diode
clamped to reduce the effects of line ringing. The
counters have parallel outputs from each counter
stage so that submultiples of the input count
frequency are available for system timing signals.
