74AC161 • 74ACT161
Synchronous Presettable Binary Counter
General Description
The AC/ACT161 are high-speed synchronous modulo-16
binary counters. They are synchronously presettable for
application in programmable dividers and have two types
of Count Enable inputs plus a Terminal Count output for
versatility in forming synchronous multistage counters. The
AC/ACT161 has an asynchronous Master Reset input that
overrides all other inputs and forces the outputs LOW.

74AC161 • 74ACT161
Functional Description
The AC/ACT161 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 outputs
(except due to Master Reset of the AC/ACT161) occur as a
result of, and synchronous with, the LOW-to-HIGH transi-
tion of the CP input signal. The circuits have four funda-
mental modes of operation, in order of precedence:
asynchronous reset, parallel load, count-up and hold. Five
control inputs—Master Reset, Parallel Enable (PE), Count
Enable Parallel (CEP) and Count Enable Trickle (CET)—
determine the mode of operation, as shown in the Mode
Select Table. A LOW signal on MR overrides all other
inputs and asynchronously forces all outputs LOW. A LOW
signal on PE overrides counting and allows information on
the Parallel Data (P
n
) inputs to be loaded into the flip-flops
on the next rising edge of CP. With PE and MR HIGH, CEP
and CET permit counting when both are HIGH. Conversely,
a LOW signal on either CEP or CET inhibits counting.
The AC/ACT161 use D-type edge-triggered flip-flops and
changing the PE, CEP, and CET inputs when the CP is in
either state does not cause errors, provided that the recom-
mended setup and hold times, with respect to the rising
edge of CP, are observed.
The Terminal Count (TC) output is HIGH when CET is
HIGH and counter is in state 15. To implement synchro-
nous multistage counters, the TC outputs can be used with
the CEP and CET inputs in two different ways.
Figure 1 shows the connections for simple ripple carry, in
which the clock period must be longer than the CP to TC
delay of the first stage, plus the cumulative CET to TC
delays of the intermediate stages, plus the CET to CP
setup time of the last stage. This total delay plus setup time
sets the upper limit on clock frequency. For faster clock
rates, the carry lookahead connections shown in Figure 2
are recommended. In this scheme the ripple delay through
the intermediate stages commences with the same clock
that causes the first stage to tick over from max to min in
the Up mode, or min to max in the Down mode, to start its
final cycle. Since this final cycle requires 16 clocks to com-
plete, there is plenty of time for the ripple to progress
through the intermediate stages. The critical timing that lim-
its the clock period is the CP to TC delay of the first stage
plus the CEP to CP setup time of the last stage. The TC
output is subject to decoding spikes due to internal race
conditions and is therefore not recommended for use as a
clock or asynchronous reset for flip-flops, registers or
counters.

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
