Counters

Types of Counters

  • Ripple/Asynchronous counter
  • synchronous counter

Ripple or Asynchronous Counter

The subsequent flipflop gets the clock input from the previous output

Synchronous Counter

All the flipflops get separate clock

  • Up Counter
  • Down Counter
  • Up Down Counter

Differences between Asynchronous Counter and Synchronous Counter.

3 Bit Asynchronous Up Counter

Logic design (JK Flipflop)

Clock Diagram

4 Bit Asynchronous Up Counter – T flipflop

3 Bit Asynchronous Down Counter – two type

3Bit & 4 Bit UP/DOWN Ripple Counter

a mode control input (M) is used

Modulus of the counter & Counting up to a Particular Value

State Diagram of a Counter

Decade (BCD) Ripple Counter

Design of Synchronous Counters

2 bit Synchronous up counter – JK flipflop

3 bit Synchronous up counter – T flipflop

3 bit & 4 bit up/down synchronous counter

Ring Counter

application of shift register

output of last ff is connected to the first ff

preseted 1 is shifted 1 bit per clock cycle.

Johnson’s Counter (Twisted/Switch Tail Ring Counter)
