======================================================================== 74F191 UP/DOWN BINARY COUNTER (WITH PRESET AND RIPPLE CLOCK) ======================================================================== Family: Fairchild FAST (Advanced Schottky TTL) Source: 1980 Fairchild FAST Data Book, pages 4-52 ... 4-56 Status: Released data sheet Ratings: Vcc = +5.0 V +/-5%, TA = 0 to +70 deg C DESCRIPTION ----------- The 'F191 is a reversible modulo-16 binary counter featuring synchronous counting and asynchronous presetting. The preset feature allows the 'F191 to be used in programmable dividers. The Count Enable input, the Terminal Count output and the Ripple Clock output make possible a variety of methods of implementing multistage counters. In the counting modes, state changes are initiated by the rising edge of the clock. o High speed -- 130 MHz typical count frequency o Synchronous counting o Asynchronous parallel load o Cascadable FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION ---------------------- The 'F191 is a synchronous up/down 4-bit binary counter. It contains four edge-triggered flip-flops, with internal gating and steering logic to provide individual preset, count-up and count-down operations. Each circuit has an asynchronous parallel load capability permitting the counter to be preset to any desired number. When the Parallel Load (/PL) input is LOW, information present on the Parallel Data inputs (P0 - P3) is loaded into the counter and appears on the Q outputs. This operation overrides the counting functions, as indicated in the Mode Select Table. A HIGH signal on the /CE input inhibits counting. When /CE is LOW, internal state changes are initiated synchronously by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the clock input. The direction of counting is determined by the /U/D input signal, as indicated in the Mode Select Table. /CE and /U/D can be changed with the clock in either state, provided only that the recommended setup and hold times are observed. Two types of outputs are provided as overflow/underflow indicators. The Terminal Count (TC) output is normally LOW and goes HIGH when a circuit reaches zero in the count-down mode or reaches maximum (15 for the 'F191) in the count-up mode. The TC output will then remain HIGH until a state change occurs, whether by counting or presetting or until /U/D is changed. The TC output should not be used as a clock signal because it is subject to decoding spikes. The TC signal is also used internally to enable the Ripple Clock (/RC) output. The /RC output is normally HIGH. When /CE is LOW and TC is HIGH, the /RC output will go LOW when the clock next goes LOW and will stay LOW until the clock goes HIGH again. This feature simplifies the design of multistage counters, as indicated in Figures a and b. In Figure a, each /RC output is used as the clock input for the next higher stage. This configuration is particularly advantageous when the clock source has a limited drive capability, since it drives only the first stage. To prevent counting in all stages it is only necessary to inhibit the first stage, since a HIGH signal on /CE inhibits the /RC output pulse, as indicated in the /RC Truth Table. A disadvantage of this configuration, in some applications, is the timing skew between state changes in the first and last stages. This represents the cumulative delay of the clock as it ripples through the preceding stages. A method of causing state changes to occur simultaneously in all stages is shown in Figure b. All clock inputs are driven in parallel and the /RC outputs propagate the carry/borrow signals in ripple fashion. In this configuration the LOW state duration of the clock must be long enough to allow the negative-going edge of the carry/borrow signal to ripple through to the last stage before the clock goes HIGH. There is no such restriction on the HIGH state duration of the clock, since the /RC output of any package goes HIGH shortly after its CP input goes HIGH. The configuration shown in Figure c avoids ripple delays and their associated restrictions. The /CE input for a given stage is formed by combining the TC signals from all the preceding stages. Note that in order to inhibit counting an enable signal must be included in each carry gate. The simple inhibit scheme of Figures a and b doesn't apply, because the TC output of a given stage is not affected by its own /CE.
