description
The ’ALS190 and ’ALS191 are synchronous,
reversible up/down counters. The ’ALSL90 is a
4-bit decade counter and the ’ALS191 is a 4-bit
binary counter. Synchronous counting operation
is provided by having all flip-flops clocked
simultaneously so that the outputs change
coincident with each other 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 flip-flops are triggered on
a low-to-high-level transition of the clock input if
the enable input CTEN is low. A high at CTEN
inhibits counting. The direction of the count is
determined by the level of the down/up D/U input.
When D/U is low, the counter counts up and when
D/U is high, it counts down.
NC–No internal connection
These counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at the control inputs (CTEN and D/U) that will
modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function of
the counter will be dictated solely by the condition meeting the stable setup and hold times.
These counters are fully programmable; that is, the outputs may each be preset to either level by placing a low
on the load input and entering the desired data at the data inputs. The output will change to agree with the data
inputs independently of the level of the clock input. This feature allows the counters to be used as modulo-N
dividers by simply modifying the count length with the preset inputs.
The CLK, D/U, and LOAD inputs are buffered to lower the drive requirement, which significantly reduces the
loading on, or current required by, clock drivers, etc., for long parallel words.
Two outputs have been made available to perform the cascading function: ripple clock and maximum/minimum
count. The latter output produces a high-level output pulse with a duration approximately equal to one complete
cycle of the clock while the count is zero (all outputs low) counting down or maximum (9 or 15) counting up. The
ripple clock output produces a low-level output pulse under those same conditions but only while the clock input
is low. The counters can be easily cascaded by feeding the ripple clock output to the enable input of the
succeeding counter if parallel clocking is used, or to the clock input if parallel enabling is used. The
maximum/minimum count output can be used to accomplish look-ahead for high-speed operation.
The SN54ALS190 and SN54ALS191 are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range
of –55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS190 and SN74ALS191 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
