SN74LS92ML1

Counter Dividers Overview

The SN74LS92ML1 is a high-speed 4-bit ripple-type counter manufactured by onsemi. It belongs to the SN54/74LS series and features partitioned internal sections, including a divide-by-two stage and a divide-by-six stage triggered by HIGH-to-LOW clock transitions. The device supports multiple counting modes such as BCD, bi-quinary, modulo-12, and binary configurations. It includes input clamp diodes for high-speed termination effects and operates within a standard voltage range.

Counter Dividers Feature Summary

• Partitioned architecture with separate divide-by-two and divide-by-six sections
• Supports versatile counting modes including BCD, bi-quinary, and modulo-12
• Integrated input clamp diodes to limit high-speed termination effects

Counter Dividers Applications

• Digital frequency division circuits
• Modulo-N counter designs
• Binary-coded decimal (BCD) counting systems

Counter Dividers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as the SN74LS92 part number is historically associated with Texas Instruments while onsemi produces compatible LS-series logic. Confirm that the ML1 suffix corresponds to the correct plastic small-outline package variant and ensure the component meets the required operating temperature and voltage specifications for the target application.

Counter Dividers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power 4-bit counter is needed for frequency division or sequence generation. The LS technology offers a balance of speed and power consumption suitable for general-purpose digital logic. Ensure the design accommodates the ripple-clock propagation delays inherent to this counter architecture rather than using synchronous alternatives.

Counter Dividers Part Context

This component is part of the widely used SN54/74LS TTL logic family, known for its compatibility with standard digital systems. The SN74LS92 specifically provides a divide-by-twelve function when sections are cascaded, serving as a fundamental building block for timing and sequencing applications in industrial and consumer electronics.

Counter Dividers Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74LS92N from Texas Instruments and other LS-series decade counters like the SN74LS90 or SN74LS93, depending on whether a divide-by-five or divide-by-eight section is preferred.
