The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. The 74LS190 is a synchronous UP/DOWN BCD Decade (8421) Counter and State changes of the counters are synchronous with the A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the Clock Pulse input.

74LS190 Features
- Synchronous Up/Down BCD Decade Counter, Count is Updated with Low-to-High Clock Transition
- Synchronous Counting
- High Speed up to 25MHz
- Individual Preset Inputs
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
