Experiment #5
Counter Design Using J-K Flip-Flop

Objectives:1- To study sequential logic circuits and be familiar with the concept of the clock. 2- To design synchronous counter of a specified sequence.

Introduction:A Flip Flop is an electronic circuit that has two stable states and capable of being a memory of 1-bit data. Flip Flops have a clock input which controls their operation. Counters are built from a number of Flip Flops depending on the number of bits e.g. A counter to count from 0 to 2 needs 2 Flip Flop. Flip Flops will change state according the specified sequence when the input pulses are received.

Results & Discussion:In this experiment we design a sequential circuit with 2 JK Flip-Flops, A & B and one input X. When X=0, the circuit goes through count up states: 00 01 10 11 00 then repeat. When X=1, the circuit goes repeatedly through countdown states: 00 11 10 01 00.
