Nowadays it is very easy to display numbers and letters across multiple LED displays using micro-controllers, such as the Arduino or Raspberry-Pi, along with a

The job of a counter is to count by advancing the contents of the counter by one count with each clock pulse. Counters which advance

As well as counting “up” from zero and increasing or incrementing to some preset value, it is sometimes necessary to count “down” from a predetermined

We saw previously that toggle T-type flip flops can be used as individual divide-by-two counters. If we connect together several toggle flip-flops in a series

The electronics student or hobbyist’s always likes to make various circuits for their home or school and especially ones that flashes a few lights, and

In the previous Asynchronous binary counter tutorial, we saw that the output of one counter stage is connected directly to the clock input of the

In the Sequential Logic tutorials we saw how D-type Flip-Flop´s work and how they can be connected together to form a Data Latch. Another useful

An Asynchronous counter can have 2n-1 possible counting states e.g. MOD-16 for a 4-bit counter, (0-15) making it ideal for use in Frequency Division applications. But it
