MOD Counters

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

Bidirectional Counters

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

BCD Counter Circuit

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

Synchronous Counter

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

Frequency Division

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

Asynchronous Counter

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
