description
The ’ALS191A are synchronous 4-bit reversible
up/down binary counters. Synchronous counting
operation is provided by having all flip-flops
clocked simultaneously so that the outputs
change coincidentally with each other when
instructed by the steering logic. This mode of
operation eliminates the output counting spikes
normally associated with asynchronous
(ripple-clock) counters.
The outputs of the four flip-flops are triggered on
a low-to-high-level transition of the clock (CLK)
input if the count enable (CTEN) input is low. A
high at CTEN inhibits counting. The direction of
the count is determined by the level of the
down/up (D/U) input. When D/U is lo w, the counter
counts up, and when D/U is high, the counter
counts down.
These counters feature a fully independent clock circuit. Changes at the control inputs (CTEN and D/U) that
modify the operating mode have no effect on the contents of the counter until clocking occurs. The function of
the counter is dictated solely by the conditions meeting the stable setup and hold times.
These counters are fully programmable. Each output can be preset to either level by placing a low on the LOAD
input and entering the desired data at the data inputs. The output changes to agree with the data inputs
independently of the level of the clock input. This feature allows the counters to be used as modulo-N dividers
by simply modifying the count length with the preset inputs.
CLK, D/U, and LOAD are buffered to lower the drive requirement, which significantly reduces the loading on
(current required by) clock drivers, for long parallel words.

description (continued)
Two outputs are available to perform the cascading function: ripple clock and maximum/minimum count. The
latter output produces a high-level output pulse with a duration approximately equal to one complete cycle of
the clock while the count is minimum (0) counting down or maximum (15) counting up. The ripple-clock output
(RCO) produces a low-level output pulse under those same conditions, but only while the clock input is low. The
counter easily can be cascaded by feeding the ripple-clock output to the enable input of the succeeding counter
if parallel clocking is used, or to the clock input if parallel enabling is used. The maximum/minimum count
(MAX/MIN) output can be used to accomplish look ahead for high-speed operation.
The SN54ALS191A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of −55°C to 125°C.
The SN74ALS191A is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.

Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
