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. 74LS93 monolithic counters contain four master-slave flip-flops and additional gating to provide a divide-by-two counter and a three-stage binary counter for which the count cycle length is divide-by-eight for the LS93.

74LS93 Features
- Contains a divide-by-two Section and a divide-by-eight Section
- Sections Can be Combined to form BCD, modulo-12 or modulo-16 Counters
- Low Power Dissipation
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
