74F779
8-Bit Bidirectional Binary Counter with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The 74F779 is a fully synchronous 8-stage up/down
counter with multiplexed 3-STATE I/O ports for bus-ori-
ented applications. All control functions (hold, count up,
count down, synchronous load) are controlled by two mode
pins (S
0
, S
1
). The device also features carry lookahead for
easy cascading. All state changes are initiated by the rising
edge of the clock.
Features
■ Multiplexed 3-STATE I/O ports
■ Built-in lookahead carry capability
■ Count frequency 100 MHz typ
■ Supply current 80 mA typ
■ Available in SOIC (300 mil only)
