DM74LS393
Dual 4-Bit Binary Counter
General Description
Each of these monolithic circuits contains eight master-
slave flip-flops and additional gating to implement two indi-
vidual four-bit counters in a single package. The
DM74LS393 comprises two independent four-bit binary
counters each having a clear and a clock input. N-bit binary
counters can be implemented with each package providing
the capability of divide-by-256. The DM74LS393 has paral-
lel outputs from each counter stage so that any submultiple
of the input count frequency is available for system-timing
signals.
Features
s
Dual version of the popular DM74LS93
s
DM74LS393 dual 4-bit binary counter with individual
clocks
s
Direct clear for each 4-bit counter
s
Dual 4-bit versions can significantly improve system
densities by reducing counter package count by 50%
s
Typical maximum count frequency 35 MHz
s
Buffered outputs reduce possibility of collector commu-
tation

Note 1:
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 tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.
