onsemi Counters, Dividers 74F193SCX

The 74F193SCX is a 4-bit binary synchronous up/down counter designed for modular counting applications. It features separate clock inputs for counting up and down, allowing for synchronous operation. The outputs change state on the rising edge of the clock signals, ensuring that all flip-flops update simultaneously, which is beneficial for reducing propagation delays in multi-stage designs. This counter includes asynchronous preset and master reset capabilities, enabling it to be programmed to a specific count or reset to zero without waiting for clock signals. The device also provides terminal count outputs for both counting up and down, which can be utilized as clock inputs for subsequent stages in a cascading counter configuration. The 74F193SCX is available in a 16-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, making it suitable for applications where space is a consideration. Its specifications and features make it a versatile choice for engineers looking to implement counting functions in digital circuits.
