Q: Design custom ripple counter

Q- Design the ripple counter whose output sequence is represented by the following state diagram. Ans: As we can see that it is a down counter so we’ll be using Q bar of all flip-flops as clock to next flip-flops (negative edged FFs). We draw the table as  Q2         Q1          Q0                          OUTPUT 0              0              0                              0 […]

Q: Design custom ripple counter

Q- Design the ripple counter whose output sequence is represented by the following state diagram. Ans: As it is a 3-bit counter hence we firstly arrange 3 FFs and now we design the combinational circuit to reset the counter at appropriate point.  Q2         Q1          Q0                          OUTPUT 0              0              0                              0 0              0              1                              1 0              1              […]

Ripple counter

We can attach more flip-flops to make larger counter. We just use more flip-flops in cascade and give output of first to the clock of 2nd and output of 2nd to clock of 3rd and so on. This way every flip-flop would divide frequency of the clock by 2 and hence we can obtain a divide by larger […]
