SYNCHRONOUS PRESETTABLE
BINARY COUNTER
The MC74F161A and MC74F163A are high-speed synchronous modu-
lo-16 binary counters. They are synchronously presettable for application in
programmable dividers and have two types of Count Enable inputs plus a Ter-
minal Count output for versatility in forming synchronous multistage counters.
The MC74F161A has an asynchronous Master Reset input that overrides all
other inputs and forces the outputs LOW. The MC74F163A has a Synchro-
nous Reset input that overrides counting and parallel loading and allows the
outputs to be simultaneously reset on the rising edge of the clock.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MC74F161A and MC74F163A count in modulo-16
binary sequence. From state 15 (HHHH) they increment to
state 0 (LLLL). The clock inputs of all flip-flops are driven in
parallel through a clock buffer. Thus all changes of the Q out-
puts (except due to Master Reset of the MC74F161A) occur
as a result of, and synchronous with, the LOW-to-HIGH transi-
tion of the CP input signal. The circuits have four fundamental
modes of operation, in order of precedence: asynchronous re-
set (MC74F161A), synchronous reset (MC74F163A), parallel
load, count-up and hold. Five control inputs
Master Reset
(MR, MC74F161A), Synchronous Reset (SR, MC74F163A),
Parallel Enable (PE), Count Enable Parallel (CEP) and Count
Enable Trickle (CET) — determine the mode of operation, as
shown in the Function Table. A LOW signal on MR overrides
all other inputs and asynchronously forces all outputs LOW. A
LOW signal on SR overrides counting and parallel loading
and allows all outputs to go LOW on the next rising edge of
CP. A LOW signal on PE overrides counting and allows infor-
mation on the Parallel Data (Pn) inputs to be loaded into the
flip-flops on the next rising edge of CP. With PE and MR
(MC74F161A) or SR (MC74F163A) HIGH, CEP and CET per-
mit counting when both are HIGH. Conversely, a LOW signal
on either CEP or CET inhibits counting.
The MC74F161A and MC74F163A use D-type edge-trig-
gered flip-flops and changing the SR, PE, CEP, and CET in-
puts when the CP is in either state does not cause errors, pro-
vided that the recommended setup and hold times, with
respect to the rising edge of CP, are observed.

NOTES:
1. For conditions shown as MIN or MAX, use the appropriate value specified under recommended operating conditions for the applicable device type.
2. Not more than one output should be shorted at a time, nor for more than 1 second.
The Terminal Count (TC) output is HIGH when CET is HIGH
and the counter is in state 15. To implement synchronous mul-
tistage counters, the TC outputs can be used with the CEP
and CET inputs in two different ways. The TC output is subject
to decoding spikes due to internal race conditions and is there-
fore not recommended for use as a clock or asynchronous
reset for flip-flops, counters, or registers.
