4-STAGE PRESETTABLE
RIPPLE COUNTERS
The SN54/74LS196 decade counter is partitioned into divide-by-two and di-
vide-by-five sections which can be combined to count either in BCD (8, 4, 2, 1)
sequence or in a bi-quinary mode producing a 50% duty cycle output. The
SN54/74LS197 contains divide-by-two and divide-by-eight sections which
can be combined to form a modulo-16 binary counter. Low Power Schottky
technology is used to achieve typical count rates of 70 MHz and power dis-
sipation of only 80 mW.
Both circuit types have a Master Reset (MR) input which overrides all other
inputs and asynchronously forces all outputs LOW. A Parallel Load input (PL)
overrides clocked operations and asynchronously loads the data on the Par-
allel Data inputs (Pn) into the flip-flops. This preset feature makes the circuits
usable as programmable counters. The circuits can also be used as 4-bit
latches, loading data from the Parallel Data inputs when PL is LOW and stor-
ing the data when PL is HIGH.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LS196 and LS197 are asynchronously presettable de-
cade and binary ripple counters. The LS196 Decade Counter
is partitioned into divide-by-two and divide-by-five sections
while the LS197 is partitioned into divide-by-two and divide-
by-eight sections, with all sections having a separate Clock in-
put. In the counting modes, state changes are initiated by the
HIGH to LOW transition of the clock signals. State changes of
the Q outputs, however, do not occur simultaneously because
of the internal ripple delays. When using external logic to de-
code the Q outputs, designers should bear in mind that the un-
equal delays can lead to decoding spikes and thus a decoded
signal should not be used as a clock or strobe. The CP0 input
serves the Q0 flip-flop in both circuit types while the CP1 input
serves the divide-by-five or divide-by-eight section. The Q0
output is designed and specified to drive the rated fan-out plus
the CP1 input. With the input frequency connected to CP0 and
Q0 driving CP1, the LS197 forms a straightforward module-16
counter, with Q0 the least significant output and Q3 the most
significant output.
The LS196 Decade Counter can be connected up to oper-
ate in two different count sequences, as indicated in the tables
of Figure 2. With the input frequency connected to CP0 and
with Q0 driving CP1, the circuit counts in the BCD (8, 4, 2, 1)
sequence. With the input frequency connected to CP1 and Q3
driving CP0, Q0 becomes the low frequency output and has a
50% duty cycle waveform. Note that the maximum counting
rate is reduced in the latter (bi-quinary) configuration because
of the interstage gating delay within the divide-by-five section.
The LS196 and LS197 have an asynchronous active LOW
Master Reset input (MR) which overrides all other inputs and
forces all outputs LOW. The counters are also asynchronously
presettable. A LOW on the Parallel Load input (PL) overrides
the clock inputs and loads the data from Parallel Data (P0 – P3)
inputs into the flip-flops. While PL is LOW, the counters act as
transparent latches and any change in the Pn inputs will be re-
flected in the outputs.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
SETUP TIME (ts) — is defined as the minimum time required
for the correct logic level to be present at the logic input prior to
the clock transition from HIGH to LOW in order to be recog-
nized and transferred to the outputs.
HOLD TIME (th) — is defined as the minimum time following
the clock transition from HIGH to LOW that the logic level must
be maintained at the input in order to ensure continued recog-
nition. A negative HOLD TIME indicates that the correct logic
level may be released prior to the clock transition from HIGH to
LOW and still be recognized.
RECOVERY TIME (trec) — is defined as the minimum time
required between the end of the reset pulse and the clock
transition from HIGH to LOW in order to recognize and transfer
LOW Data to the Q outputs.
