DM74LS90
Decade and Binary Counters
General Description
Each of these monolithic counters contains four master-
slave flip-flops and additional gating to provide a divide-by-
two counter and a three-stage binary counter for which the
count cycle length is divide-by-five for the DM74LS90.
All of these counters have a gated zero reset and the
DM74LS90 also has gated set-to-nine inputs for use in
BCD nine’s complement applications.
To use their maximum count length (decade or four bit
binary), the B input is connected to the Q
A
output. The
input count pulses are applied to input A and the outputs
are as described in the appropriate truth table. A symmetri-
cal divide-by-ten count can be obtained from the
DM74LS90 counters by connecting the Q
D
output to the A
input and applying the input count to the B input which
gives a divide-by-ten square wave at output Q
A
.

Note 4:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the “Electrical
Characteristics” table are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.

for the B input. This permits driving the B input while maintaining full fan-out capability.
Note 9:
Not more than one output should be shorted at a time, and the duration should not exceed one second.
Note 10:
I
CC
is measured with all outputs open, both RO inputs grounded following momentary connection to 4.5V and all other inputs grounded.
