Understanding Synchronous and Asynchronous Counters in Digital Electronics
Explore the concepts of synchronous (parallel) and asynchronous (ripple) counters in digital electronics, where ripple counters enable clock sharing among flip-flops and synchronous counters apply the same clock to all. Learn to design J-K and up-down counters using flip-flops with examples and state excitation tables. Discover K-maps and circuit diagrams for better visualization of the circuits. Dive into the world of counters with practical applications and functionalities.

Counters: Two types of counters: Synchronous (parallel) counters Asynchronous (ripple) counters Ripple counters allow some flip-flop outputs to be used as a source of clock for other flip-flops. Synchronous counters apply the same clock to all flip-flops. Example 1: Design a J-K counter that goes through states 2, 4, 5, 7, 2, 4 is the counter-selfstarting. Ans. "State ExcitationTable" 25
K-maps: Circuit Diagram: 26
Example 2: Design an up-down counter using JK Flip-flop to count 0, 2, 3, 6, 4, 0 . Ans. Up-down counter counts as (0, 2, 3, 6, 4, 0,......). "State EcitationTable" K-maps: 27
