74F162A
Synchronous Presettable BCD Decade Counter
General Description
The 74F162A is a high-speed synchronous decade counter
operating in the BCD (8421) sequence. They are synchro-
nously presettable for applications in programmable divid-
ers. The F162A has a Synchronous Reset input that
overrides counting and parallel loading and allows all out-
puts to be simultaneously reset on the rising edge of the
clock. The F162A is a high speed version of the F162.

Functional Description
The 74F162A count modulo-10 in the BCD (8421)
sequence. From state 9 (HLLH) they increment to state 0
(LLLL). The clock inputs of all flip-flops are driven in paral-
lel through a clock buffer. Thus all changes of the Q outputs
occur as a result of, and synchronous with, the LOW-to-
HIGH transition of the CP input signal. The circuits have
four fundamental modes of operation, in order of prece-
dence: synchronous reset, parallel load, count-up and hold.
Four control inputs— Synchronous Reset (SR), Parallel
Enable (PE), Count Enable Parallel (CEP) and Count
Enable Trickle (CET)—determine the mode of operation,
as shown in the Mode Select Table. A LOW signal on SR
overrides counting and parallel loading and allows all out-
puts to go LOW on the next rising edge of CP. A LOW sig-
nal on PE overrides counting and allows information on the
Parallel Data (P
n
) inputs to be loaded into the flip-flops on
the next rising edge of CP. With PE and SR HIGH, CEP
and CET permit counting when both are HIGH. Conversely,
a LOW signal on either CEP or CET inhibits counting.
The F162A uses D-type edge-triggered flip-flops and
changing the SR, PE, CEP and CET inputs when the CP is
in either state does not cause errors, provided that the rec-
ommended setup and hold times, with respect to the rising
edge of CP, are observed.
The Terminal Count (TC) output is HIGH when CET is
HIGH and counter is in state 9. To implement synchronous
multistage counters, the TC outputs can be used with the
CEP and CET inputs in two different ways. Please refer to
the F568 datasheet. The TC output is subject to decoding
spikes due to internal race conditions and is therefore not
recommended for use as a clock or asynchronous reset for
flip-flops, counters or registers. In the F162A decade
counters, the TC output is fully decoded and can only be
HIGH in state 9. If a decade counter is preset to an illegal
state, or assumes an illegal state when power is applied, it
will return to the normal sequence within two counts, as
shown in the State Diagram.

Absolute maximum ratings are values beyond which the device
may be damaged or have its useful life impaired. Functional operation
under these conditions is not implied.
Note 2:
Either voltage limit or current limit is sufficient to protect inputs.
