These synchronous, presettable counters feature
an internal carry look-ahead for application in
high-speed counting designs. The ’ALS160B,
’ALS162B, ’AS160, and ’AS162 are decade
counters, and the ’ALS161B, ’ALS163B, ’AS161,
and ’AS163 are 4-bit binary counters. Synchronous operation is provided by having all flip-flops
clocked simultaneously so that the outputs
change coincident with each other when so
instructed by the count-enable inputs and internal
gating. This mode of operation eliminates the
output counting spikes that are normally associated with asynchronous (ripple clock)
counters. A buffered clock input triggers the four
flip-flops on the rising (positive-going) edge of the
clock input waveform.
NC–No internal connection
These counters are fully programmable; that is, they may be preset to any number between 0 and 9, or 15. As
presetting is synchronous, setting up a low level at the load input disables the counter and causes the outputs
to agree with the setup data after the next clock pulse regardless of the levels of the enable inputs.
The clear function for the ’ALS160B, ’ALS161B, ’AS160, and ’AS161 is asynchronous and a low level at the clear
input sets all four of the flip-flop outputs low regardless of the levels of the clock, load, or enable inputs. This
synchronous clear allows the count length to be modified easily by decoding the Q outputs for the maximum
count desired. The active-low output of the gate used for decoding is connected to the clear input to
synchronously clear the counter to 0000 (LLLL).
The carry look-ahead circuitry provides for cascading counters for n-bit synchronous applications without
additional gating. Instrumental in accomplishing this function are two count-enable inputs and a ripple carry
output. Both count-enable inputs (ENP and ENT) must be high to count, and ENT is fed forward to enable the
ripple carry output. The ripple carry output (RCO) thus enabled will produce a high-level pulse while the count
is maximum (9 or 15 with QA high). This high-level overflow ripple carry pulse can be used to enable successive
cascaded stages. Transitions at the ENP or ENT are allowed regardless of the level of the clock input.
These counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at control inputs (ENP, ENT, or LOAD) that
will modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function
of the counter (whether enabled, disabled, loading, or counting) will be dictated solely by the conditions meeting
the stable setup and hold times.
The SN54ALS160B through SN54ALS163B and SN54AS160 through SN54AS163 are characterized for
operation over the full military temperature range of – 55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS160B through
SN74ALS163B and SN74AS160 through SN74AS163 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

SYNCHRONOUS 4-BIT DECADE COUNTERS
SDAS024A – D2661, APRIL 1982 – REVISED MAY 1986
APPLICATION INFORMATION
N–bit synchronous counters
This application demonstrates how the ripple mode carry circuit (Figure 1) and the carry-look-ahead circuit
(Figure 2) can be used to implement a high-speed N-bit counter. The ’ALS160B, ’AS160, ’ALS162B, and ’AS162
will count in BCD and the ’ALS161B, ’AS161, ’ALS163B, and ’AS163 will count in binary. When additional stages
are added, the fMAX decreases in Figure 1 , but remains unchanged in Figure 2.
