Experiment#11 Clocked Sequential Circuits and Counters

This document describes an experiment involving the design and testing of synchronous and asynchronous counters. It provides state tables and logic equations for building a synchronous sequential circuit and synchronous counter using JK flip-flops. An asynchronous up/down counter is also presented that counts from 0 to 15 and back using D flip-flops. In conclusion, the key differences between synchronous and asynchronous counters are discussed, with synchronous counters avoiding propagation delays through clocking and asynchronous counters not requiring a clock signal.

Conclusion

-synchronous counter is also known as parallel counter.

- synchronous counter eliminates the propagation delay problem that


can be overcome by lookahead logic.

- synchronous counter starts with state diagram, state table, K-maps


and the circuit.

-asynchronous counters can easily be made from toggle or D flip-flop.

- asynchronous counters do not require clock signal to change the


output.

- asynchronous counters are sometimes called ripple counters because


the data appears to " ripple " from the output of one flip-flop to the
input of the next.
