8-BIT BIDIRECTIONAL BINARY COUNTER (3-STATE)

The MC74F579 is a fully synchronous 8-stage up/down counter with multiplexed 3-state I/O ports for bus-oriented applications. It features a preset capability for programmable operation, carry look-ahead for easy cascading and a U/D input to control the direction of counting. All state changes, except for the case of asynchronous reset, are initiated by the rising edge of the clock. TC output is not recommended for use as a clock or asynchronous reset due to the possibility of decoding spikes.
