74AC169
4-Stage Synchronous Bidirectional Counter
General Description
The AC169 is fully synchronous 4-stage up/down counter.
The AC169 is a modulo-16 binary counter. It features a
preset capability for programmable operation, carry looka-
head for easy cascading and a U/D input to control the
direction of counting. All state changes, whether in count-
ing or parallel loading, are initiated by the LOW-to-HIGH
transition of the Clock.

Functional Description
The AC169 uses edge-triggered J-K-type flip-flops and
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
setup time before the rising edge of the clock and remain
valid for the recommended hold time thereafter. The paral-
lel load operation takes precedence over the other opera-
tions, as indicated in the Mode Select Table. When PE is
LOW, the data on the P
0
–P
3
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 count-
ing. 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 in the
Count Up mode. The TC output state is not a function of
the Count Enable Parallel (CEP) input level. If an illegal
state occurs, the AC169 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 (see logic equations
below).

Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage
to the device may occur. The databook specifications should be met, with-
out exception, to ensure that the system design is reliable over its power
supply, temperature, and output/input loading variables. Fairchild does not
recommend operation of FACT circuits outside databook specifications.
