Theory: -In case of sequential circuits the effect of all previous inputs on the
outputs is represented by a state of the circuit. Thus, the output of the circuit at any time
depends upon its current state and the input. These also determine the next state
of the circuit. The relationship that exists among the inputs, outputs, present states
and next states can be specified by either the state table or the state diagram.
State Table: -The state table representation of a sequential circuit consists of

three sections labelledpresent state next stateand output. T h e p r e s e n t s t a t e
d e s i g n a t e s t h e s t a t e o f f l i p - f l o p s b e f o r e t h e occurrence of a clock pulse.
The next state shows the states of flip -flops after the clock pulse, and the output
section lists the value of the output variables during the present state.

LOGIC DIAGRAM

State diagram
Procedure:-
(i) Connections are given as per circuit diagram.
(ii) Logical inputs are given as per circuit diagram.
(iii) Observe the output and verify the truth table.
Result: -Study of 4 bit synchronous counters and verified its truth table.
Precautions:-

1) What is a register?
Ans: A register is basically a set of flip flops logically connected to perform

various operations.
2) What is the need of a register?
Ans Registers are used for temporary storage of binary information. Registers are
also used for shifting the binary information stored in it.
3) What is a counter?
Ans: A counter is a sequential logic circuit capable of counting the number of clock
pulses arriving at its clock input.
4) What is a synchronous counter?
Ans: Synchronous counter is one in which all the flip flops are triggered
simultaneously by clock pulse.
5) How the synchronous counter eliminate the delay problems encountered with
asynchronous counters.
Ans: :In synchronous counters all the flip flops are triggered simultaneously by
clock pulse. This eliminates the delay problem.
1) How many flip flops are required to construct a decade counter?

Ans: 4
2) How many different states a 3 bit synchronous counter have?
Ans: 8
3) For how many clock pulses the final output of a modulus 8 counter occur?
Ans: 8 clock pulses
4) A 4 bit up/down binary counter is in the down mode and in the 1100 state. To
what state does the counter go on the next clock pulse.
Ans: 1011

EXPERIMENT-8
AIM: - To design and verify 4 bit ripple (asynchronous counter).
APPARATUS REQUIRED:-
S.No. COMPONENT SPECIFICATION QTY.
1. JK FLIP FLOP IC 7476 2
2. NAND GATE IC 7400 1
3. IC TRAINER KIT - 1
4. PATCH CORDS - 30
THEORY:-
A counter is a register capable of counting number of clock pulse arriving at its clock
input. Counter represents the number of clock pulses arrived. A specified sequence of
states appears as counter output. This is the main difference between a register and a
counter. There are two types of counter, synchronous and asynchronous. In synchronous
common clock is given to all flip flop and in asynchronous first flip flop is clocked by
external pulse and then each successive flip flop is clocked by Q or Q output of previous
stage. A soon the clock of second stage is triggered by output of first stage. Because of
inherent propagation delay time all flip flops are not activated at same time which results
in asynchronous operation.

(ii) Logical inputs are given as per circuit diagram.
(iii) Observe the output and verify the truth table.
Result: -
Study of 4 bit synchronous counter and verified its truth table
Precautions:-
1. All ICs should be checked before starting the exp eriment.

4. Suitable type wire should be used for different typ es of circuit.
1) What is an asynchronous counter?
Ans: Asynchronous counter is one in which flip flops are connected in such a way
that the first flip flop output is the clock for the nest flip flop.
2) What is the major drawback of asynchronous counters?
Ans: High frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delay.
3) What is modulus counter?
Ans: The number of states through which the counter passes before returning to the
starting state is called modulus counter.
4) What is a state diagram?
Ans: A state diagram is a graphical representation represented by circles and the

transition between states is indicated by directed lines connecting the circles.

5) What is state table?
Ans: The state table represents the state diagram in tabular form. It consists of
present state, next state and flip flop inputs.
Post ExperimentQuestions:-
1) What factor determines whether a counter will operate as a count up or count

down counter?
Ans: When the signal is high, the counter operates as an up counter, when the
signal is low the counter operates as a down counter.
2) How many different states 2 bit asynchronous counters have?
Ans: 4
3) Differentiate between synchronous and asynchronous counters.

Asynchronous counter Synchronous counter
1) All flip flops are not clocked 1) All flip flops are clocked
simultaneously simultaneously
2) Design is very simple eve for 2) Complex logic circuits as the
more number of states number of states increases.
3) Low speed 3) Higher speed as compared to
asynchronous counters
4) How the up counter can be made to work as a down counter?
Ans: By taking the counter outputs Qlinstead of Q the up counter can be made to
work as a down counter.
