The SN74LV8154 may be configured as a 32 bit counter by connecting CLKBEN to RCOA allowing a ripple carry between the two 16 bit counters. Since these are ripple counters and not synchronous counters, would it be a correct understanding that the maximum clock frequency in the 32 bit configuration would be half that in the 16 bit configuration? For example, the part is rated at minimum 25Mhz at 3.3v and CL=50pf, so in 32 bit configuration could only 12.5MHz be achieved? This seems to make sense given a doubled propagation delay. This question is basically a reality check to make sure I'm not missing something fundamental. Thanks in advance for your help!
