Fig. 1 — 3-Bit Up/Down Counter INTERACTIVE

Lo que aprenderás

  • Build a synchronous up/down counter from T flip-flops
  • Derive toggle-enable (steering) logic
  • Contrast synchronous and ripple counters

Cómo funciona

A direction input selects up or down counting. T flip-flops all share one clock; combinational steering logic (T0=1, T1 depends on Q0 and direction, T2 on Q0,Q1 and direction) decides which flip-flops toggle, so every bit changes synchronously on the same edge.

Address generators that scan forwards and backwards, timers that count up or down, and position counters for motors and encoders.
