A synchronous counter is not

referred to as a ripple counter. They are two different things. The ripple counter uses the output of each stage to trigger the input of the next stage, resulting in propagation delay between stages. The synchronous counter, on the other hand clocks all stages on the same clock edge, making them all change at relatively the same time.

What is a ripple counter?

A ripple counter is a counter in which state transitions of one or more flip flops are triggered by the outputs of other flip flops in the circuit. If all flip flops in the counter are triggered by a common clock pulse, then the counter is called a "synchronous counter". a ripple counter is a counter that will ripple through the information sequentialy. .


What are the disadvantages of asynchronous counter?

Counter circuits made from cascaded J-K flip-flops where each clock input receives its pulses from the output of the previous flip-flop invariably exhibit a ripple effect, where false output counts are generated between some steps of the count sequence. These types of counter circuits are called asynchronous counters, or ripple counters.


Design a mod-7 synchronous counter using JK Flip-Flops?

You do it by studying, and doing your homework by yourself instead of trying to get someone else to do it for you.


How a ripple carry counter works?

The word ripple in ripple counter refers to the fact that the carry ripples from one flipflop to the next, instead of being pre-calculated by logic so that all the flipflops in the counter change state synchronously. Thus the bits in a ripple counter change state asynchronously with the most significant bits changing last. This can produce race conditions and instabilities in logic circuits that are driven by these counters.


What do you mean by universal shift register?

Basically it is a Synchronous Counter. You can google for further information.

What are the types of digital counters?

The types of digital counters include asynchronous (ripple) counters and synchronous counters. Asynchronous counters change state based on the clock input, with each flip-flop triggering the next. Synchronous counters have all flip-flops triggered simultaneously by a common clock signal.

How do you convert a ripple counter to a decade counter?

Add a circuit to reset it when it hits 10. Yes it will glitch, but ripple counters already glitch.
