The AC169 is fully synchronous 4-stage up/down counter. The AC169 is a modulo-16 binary counter. It features a preset capability for programmable operation, carry lookahead for easy cascading and a U/D# input to control the direction of counting. All state changes, whether in counting or parallel loading, are initiated by the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Clock. Product Highlights: ICC reduced by 50% Synchronous counting and loading Built-In lookahead carry capability Presettable for programmable operation Outputs source/sink 24 mA
