Synchronous 4 Bit Counters; Binary,
Direct Reset
This synchronous, presettable counter features an internal carry
look-ahead for application in high-speed counting designs.
Synchronous operation is provided by having all flip-flops clocked
simultaneously so that the outputs change conicident with each other
when so instructed by the count-enable inputs and internal gating.
This mode of operation eliminates the output counting spikes that
are normally associated with asynchronous (ripple clock) counters. A
buffered clock input triggers the four flip-flops on the rising (positive-
going) edge of the clock input wave form.
This counter is fully programmable; that is the outputs may be
preset to either level. As presetting is synchronous setting up a low
level at the load input disables the counter and causes the outputs to
agree with the setup data after the next clock pulse regardless of the
levels of the enable inputs.
The carry look-ahead circuitry provides for cascading counters for
n-bit synchronous applications without additional gating. Instrumental
in accomplishiing this function are two counter-enable inputs and a
ripple carry output. Both countenable inputs (ENABLE P and
ENABLE T) must be high to count, and ENABLE T is fed forward
to enable the ripple carry output. The ripple carry output thus
enabled will produce a high-level output pulse with a duration
approximately equal to the high level portion of the Q
A
output. The
high-level overflow ripple carry pulse can be enable successive
cascaded stages. Transitions at the ENPor ENT are allowed
regardless of the level of the clock input.
