DM74LS390
Dual 4-Bit Decade 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
DM74LS390 incorporates dual divide-by-two and divide-
by-five counters, which can be used to implement cycle
lengths equal to any whole and/or cumulative multiples of 2
and/or 5 up to divide-by-100. When connected as a bi-qui-
nary counter, the separate divide-by-two circuit can be
used to provide symmetry (a square wave) at the final out-
put stage. The DM74LS390 has parallel outputs from each
counter stage so that any submultiple of the input count fre-
quency is available for system-timing signals.
Features
s
Dual version of the popular DM74LS90
s
DM74LS390...individual clocks for A and B flip-flops
provide dual
÷
2 and

5 counters
s
Direct clear for each 4-bit counter
s
Dual 4-bit version can significantly improve system den-
sities by reducing counter package count by 50%
s
Typical maximum count frequency...35 MHz

Note 3:
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.
