Counters are fundamental digital circuits used in sequential logic for counting purposes. They are broadly classified into two types: Synchronous Counters and Asynchronous Counters. Understanding the difference between synchronous and asynchronous counters helps in choosing the right type for specific applications in digital electronics. These counters play a crucial role in modern digital systems, ranging […]

4 Bit Synchronous Counters: Working and Applications
A 4-bit synchronous counter using JK flip-flops is a sequential circuit that counts in a binary sequence (0000 to 1111), with all flip-flops receiving the clock pulse simultaneously, eliminating propagation delays found in asynchronous counters. Synchronous counters offer faster and more reliable counting operations, making them ideal for applications requiring precise timing. This article explores […]
