BCD DECADE/MODULO
16 BINARY SYNCHRONOUS
BI-DIRECTIONAL COUNTERS
The SN54 / 74LS168 and SN54 / 74LS169 are fully synchronous 4-stage
up/down counters featuring a preset capability for programmable operation,
carry lookahead for easy cascading and a U / D input to control the direction
of counting. The SN54 / 74LS168 counts in a BCD decade (8, 4, 2, 1)
sequence, while the SN54 / 74LS169 operates in a Modulo 16 binary
sequence. All state changes, whether in counting or parallel loading, are
initiated by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the clock.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SN54/74LS168 and SN54/74LS169 use edge-
triggered D-type flip-flops that have no constraints on
changing the control or data input signals in either state of the
Clock. The only requirement is that the various inputs attain
the desired state at least a set-up time before the rising edge of
the clock and remain valid for the recommended hold time
thereafter.
The parallel load operation takes precedence over the other
operations, as indicated in the Mode Select Table. When PE is
LOW, the data on the P0 – P3 inputs enters the flip-flops on the
next rising edge of the Clock. In order for counting to occur,
both CEP and CET must be LOW and PE must be HIGH. The
U/D input then determines the direction of counting.
The Terminal Count (TC) output is normally HIGH and goes
LOW, provided that CET is LOW, when a counter reaches zero
in the COUNT DOWN mode or reaches 15 (9 for the
SN54/74LS168) in the COUNT UP mode. The TC output state
is not a function of the Count Enable Parallel (CEP) input level.
The TC output of the SN54/74LS168 decade counter can also
be LOW in the illegal states 11, 13 and 15, which can occur
when power is turned on or via parallel loading. If illegal state
occurs, the SN54/74LS168 will return to the legitimate
sequence within two counts. Since the TC signal is derived by
decoding the flip-flop states, there exists the possibility of
decoding spikes on TC. For this reason the use of TC as a
clock signal is not recommended.
