Exp No 7 Ring Counter and Johnson Counter
AIM To design and Implement counters using shift registers – Ring Counter and Johnson
Counter
APPARATUS IC 7474,Connecting wires ,LED
THEORY Ring Counter
A ring counter is basically a circulating shift register in which the output of the
MSB is feed back to the input of the LSB. Here the 4 bit ring counter is constructed
using D flip-flops. The output of each stage is shifted into the next stage on the
positive edge of a clock pulse. Here the clear signal is high, all the flip-flops except
first one FF are reset to 0.FF0 is preset to 1 instead.
Johnson Counter
They are a variation of standard ring counters, with the inverted output of the last
stage feedback to the first stage. They are also known as twisted ring counters. An
n-stage Johnson counter yields a count sequence of length 2n,so it may be
considered to be mod 2n counter.
