74F569/74LS569 4-Bit Bi-directional Counter IC With 3-State Output

2,549 views

The 74F569/74LS569 is a fully synchronous Up/Down binary counter. It features preset capabilities for programmable operation, carry look ahead for programmable operation, carry look ahead for easy cascading, and U/D input to control the direction of counting. For maximum flexibility. It also features both Synchronous and Master Reset inputs as well as both Clocked Carry (CC) and Terminal Count (TC) outputs. All state changes except Master Reset are initiated by rising (+ve) edge of the clock. A High signal on the Output Enable (OE) input forces the output buffers into the high impedance state but does not prevent counting, resetting, or parallel loading. The output of the IC always comes in TTL which makes it easy to work with other TTL devices and microcontrollers. The IC 74F569 is compact in size and it has a much faster speed which makes it reliable in every kind of application.

What Binary Counter?

A Binary Counter is a serial digital counter that counts ten digits. it resets for every new clock input. As it can go through 10 unique combinations of output, it is also called as “Decade counter”. A binary counter can count 0000, 0001, 0010, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1110, 1111, 0000, and 0001 and so on. A 4 bit binary counter will act as a decade counter by skipping any six outputs out of the 16 (24) outputs.
