GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT93 are high-speed
Si-gate CMOS devices and are pin
compatible with low power Schottky
TTL (LSTTL). They are specified in
compliance with JEDEC standard
no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT93 are 4-bit binary
ripple counters. The devices consist
of four master-slave flip-flops
internally connected to provide a

divide-by-two section and a
divide-by-eight section. Each section
has a separate clock input (CP
0
and
CP
1
) to initiate state changes of the
counter on the HIGH-to-LOW clock
transition. State changes of the Q
n
outputs do not occur simultaneously
because of internal ripple delays.
Therefore, decoded output signals
are subject to decoding spikes and
should not be used for clocks or
strobes.
A gated AND asynchronous master
reset (MR
1
and MR
2
) is provided
which overrides both clocks and
resets (clears) all flip-flops.
Since the output from the
divide-by-two section is not internally
connected to the succeeding stages,
74HC/HCT93
the device may be operated in various
counting modes. In a 4-bit ripple
counter the output Q
0
must be
connected externally to input CP
1
.
The input count pulses are applied to
clock input CP
0
. Simultaneous
frequency divisions of 2, 4, 8 and 16
are performed at the Q
0
, Q
1
, Q
2
and
Q
3
outputs as shown in the function
table. As a 3-bit ripple counter the
input count pulses are applied to input
CP
1
.
Simultaneous frequency divisions of
2, 4 and 8 are available at the Q
1
, Q
2
and Q
3
outputs. Independent use of
the first flip-flop is available if the reset
function coincides with reset of the
3-bit ripple-through counter.
