Tutorial Chapter 7 Q

This document provides a tutorial on counters with 15 questions covering their functions, types, logic diagrams, and applications. It asks the reader to distinguish between different counter types like mod-16, mod-10, and mod-8 counters. Questions cover topics like least significant bit (LSB), most significant bit (MSB), ripple counters, self-stopping counters, asynchronous vs synchronous counters, and designing counters using logic gates and flip-flops. The document tests the understanding of counters and their applications in digital circuits.

1.
2.

State the function of counter.


State the meaning of the following:
i. LSB
ii.
MSB
3. Distinguish the following:
i. Mod-16 counter
ii.
Mod-10 counter
iii.
Mod-8 counter
in terms of their logic diagram and counting sequence. You may distinguish
these counters in a table.
4. Sketch the waveform of the mod-16 counter.
5. State the function of the NAND gate in mod-10 ripple counter.
6. State the function of the OR gate in self-stopping counters.
7. Differentiate asynchronous and synchronous counters.
8. State the different of the up and down counters.
9. Name the logic gate needed to perform a conversion of a mod-16 counter to
mode-10 counter.
10. Consider the output of the mode-16 counter are Q0, Q1, Q2 and Q3 with Q3
as MBS. Which output should be connected to the particular logic gate inputs?
11. Construct the circuit diagram for a 3 bit ripple down counter with self-stopping
function. Provide its binary counting sequence assuming all output initially
HIGH.
12. Design a mod-10 binary up-counter using negative edge JK flip-flops with
active LOW clear. Draw its circuit diagram and pulse train diagram for all input
and output.
13. Draw a logic diagram of a mod-6 ripple counter using JK Flip-flops.
14. List eight sequences of binary counts that the counter in (13) would go
through.
15. List the counter's binary output for each pulse shown in Figure 2.
