Philips 74HC/HCT393 Dual 4-bit Binary Ripple Counter Datasheet
The 74HC/HCT393 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices containing two 4-bit binary counters with individual clocks. They feature separate master reset inputs for each counter and are specified in compliance with JEDEC standard no. 7A.
These devices operate as ripple counters triggered by a HIGH-to-LOW transition of the clock inputs, with outputs internally connected to provide clock inputs to succeeding stages. The counters can divide by any binary module up to 28 within a single package.
