74HC191
Presettable synchronous 4-bit binary up/down counter
Rev. 3 — 3 January 2017
Product data sheet
1. General description
The 74HC191 is an asynchronously presettable 4-bit binary up/down counter. It contains
four master/slave flip-flops with internal gating and steering logic to provide asynchronous
preset and synchronous count-up and count-down operation. Asynchronous parallel load
capability permits the counter to be preset to any desired value. Information present on
the parallel data inputs (D0 to D3) is loaded into the counter and appears on the outputs
when the parallel load (PL) input is LOW. This operation overrides the counting function.
Counting is inhibited by a HIGH level on the count enable (CE) input. When CE is LOW
internal state changes are initiated synchronously by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the
clock input. The up/down (U/D) input signal determines the direction of counting as
indicated in the function table. The CE input may go LOW when the clock is in either state,
however, the LOW-to-HIGH CE transition must occur only when the clock is HIGH. Also,
the U/D input should be changed only when either CE or CP is HIGH. Overflow/underflow
indications are provided by two types of outputs, the terminal count (TC) and ripple clock
(RC). The TC output is normally LOW and goes HIGH when a circuit reaches zero in the
count-down mode or reaches '15' in the count-up-mode. The TC output will remain HIGH
until a state change occurs, either by counting or presetting, or until U/D is changed. Do
not use the TC output as a clock signal because it is subject to decoding spikes. The TC
signal is used internally to enable the RC output. When TC is HIGH and CE is LOW, the
RC output follows the clock pulse (CP). This feature simplifies the design of multistage
counters as shown in
Figure 5
and
Figure 6.
In
Figure 5,
each RC output is used as the
clock input to the next higher stage. It is only necessary to inhibit the first stage to prevent
counting in all stages, since a HIGH on CE inhibits the RC output pulse. The timing skew
between state changes in the first and last stages is represented by the cumulative delay
of the clock as it ripples through the preceding stages. This can be a disadvantage of this
configuration in some applications.
Figure 6
shows a method of causing state changes to
occur simultaneously in all stages. The RC outputs propagate the carry/borrow signals in
ripple fashion and all clock inputs are driven in parallel. In this configuration the duration of
the clock LOW state 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. Since
the RC output of any package goes HIGH shortly after its CP input goes HIGH there is no
such restriction on the HIGH-state duration of the clock. In
Figure 7,
the configuration
shown avoids ripple delays and their associated restrictions. Combining the TC signals
from all the preceding stages forms the CE input for a given stage. An enable must be
included in each carry gate in order to inhibit counting. The TC output of a given stage it
not affected by its own CE signal therefore the simple inhibit scheme of
Figure 5
and
Figure 6
does not apply. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current
limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of V
CC
.
