Counters.: City Campus

The document discusses counters and dividers used in digital circuits. It describes what counters and dividers do, counting pulses and dividing the number of input pulses. It outlines the need to cover different types of counters like mod 2, 4, 8, 16 counters using flip flops and feedback counters of any modulus. It also mentions synchronous and asynchronous counter types.

Counters.

Cliff Srahan, 2 April, 2001

A counter is a circuit that responds to a number of input pulses by


storing a binary number that is equal to the number of input pulses, up to a
maximum or modulus number for that circuit.
generating one output pulse for the modulus number of input pulses
A counter has two related applications:
as a counter.
as a pulse divider.
As a counter, can count pulses, and so events that generate pulses.
The modulus number is the highest number that a circuit can record.
As a divider, it can divide a number of pulses by the modulus
number, that is, for each m pulses in, one output pulse is generated.
Practical counters and dividers must have a modulus such as 10, 16, 100. Such circuits
have been designed, but they are relatively expensive. Practical circuits are based on digital
flip flops, so we start our study with modulus 2 counters.
We need to cover:

Mod 2 counters, using D and JK flip flops.


Mod 4, 8,16 etc counters.
Mod anything counters using feedback.
Synchronous (parallel) and asynchronous (ripple) counters.
