Synchronous 4-Bit Decade and Binary Counters
These synchronous, presettable, 4-bit decade and binary counters feature an internal carry look-
ahead circuitry for application in high-speed counting designs. The SN54ALS162B is a 4-bit
decade counter. The ‘ALS161B, ‘ALS163B, ‘AS161, and ‘AS163 devices are 4-bit binary counters.
Synchronous operation is provided by having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously so that the outputs
change coincidentally with each other when instructed by the count-enable (ENP, ENT) inputs and
internal gating. This mode of operation eliminates the output counting spikes normally associated
with asynchronous (ripple-clock) counters. A buffered clock (CLK) input triggers the four flip-flops on
the rising (positive-going) edge of the clock input waveform.

description
These synchronous, presettable, 4-bit decade
and binary counters feature an internal carry
look-ahead circuitry for application in high-speed
counting designs. The SN54ALS162B is a 4-bit
decade counter. The ’ALS161B, ’ALS163B,
’AS161, and ’AS163 devices are 4-bit binary
counters. Synchronous operation is provided by
having all flip-flops clocked simultaneously so that
the outputs change coincidentally with each other
when instructed by the count-enable (ENP, ENT)
inputs and internal gating. This mode of operation
eliminates the output counting spikes normally
associated with asynchronous (ripple-clock)
counters. A buffered clock (CLK) input triggers the
four flip-flops on the rising (positive-going) edge of
the clock input waveform.
These counters are fully programmable; they can
be preset to any number between 0 and 9 or 15.
Because presetting is synchronous, setting up a
low level at the load (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.

On products compliant to MIL-PRF-38535, all parameters are tested
unless otherwise noted. On all other products, production
processing does not necessarily include testing of all parameters.
The clear function for the ’ALS161B and ’AS161 devices is asynchronous. A low level at the clear (CLR) input
sets all four of the flip-flop outputs low, regardless of the levels of the CLK, LOAD, or enable inputs. The clear
function for the SN54ALS162B, ’ALS163B, and ’AS163 devices is synchronous, and a low level at CLR sets
all four of the flip-flop outputs low after the next clock pulse, regardless of the levels of the enable inputs. This
synchronous clear allows the count length to be modified easily by decoding the Q outputs for the maximum
count desired. The active-low output of the gate used for decoding is connected to CLR to synchronously clear
the counter to 0000 ( LLLL ).
The carry look-ahead circuitry provides for cascading counters for n-bit synchronous applications without
additional gating. ENP and ENT inputs and a ripple-carry (RCO) output are instrumental in accomplishing this
function. Both ENP and ENT must be high to count, and ENT is fed forward to enable RCO. RCO, thus enabled,

produces a high-level pulse while the count is maximum (9 or 15, with Q
A
high). The high-level overflow
ripple-carry pulse can be used to enable successive cascaded stages. Transitions at ENP or ENT are allowed,
regardless of the level of CLK.
These counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at control inputs (ENP, ENT, or LOAD) that
modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function of
the counter (whether enabled, disabled, loading, or counting) is dictated solely by the conditions meeting the
stable setup and hold times.
The SN54ALS161B, SN54ALS162B, SN54ALS163B, SN54AS161, and SN54AS163 are characterized for
operation over the full military temperature range of – 55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS161B, SN74ALS163B,
SN74AS161, and SN74AS163 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
