Objectives

· Study and implement counters using Flip Flops

· Explain the operation of Synchronous Counters

· Determine the sequence different counters

· Understanding Up/Down Counters

Synchronous Counters

The term synchronous refers to events that have a fixed time relationship with each other. A synchronous counter is one in which all the flip-flops in the counter are clocked at the same time by a common clock pulse. Note that in all the designs shown below the right most flipflop is used for the least significant bit.

Procedure:

Explain their operation by completing truth table for inputs/outputs or a state transition diagram.
