COUNTERS

COUNTERS

A counter is a sequential circuit that stores the number of times a particular event has occurred in form of a clock pulse. Counters can be designed by connecting individual flip flop together.

Counters are used in digital electronics for the purpose of counting. When the clock pulses are applied to a counter, it progresses from one state to the next, and the final output of the counter’s flip-flop indicates the pulse count.

Basically, two types of counters are there.

SYNCHRONOUS CONTERS

Counters in which all flip flops are clocked simultaneously.

ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTERS

Counters in which are flip flops are not clocked at the same time.

We will get to know more about both types of counters in detail in the next chapters.
