Correct Answer: up count is active-HIGH, the down count is active-LOW
4. What function does the CTR DIV 8 circuit given below perform?
Options
A. It divides the clock frequency down to match the frequency of the serial data in.
B. The divide-by-8 counter is triggered by the control flip-flop and clock, which then allows the data output register to begin storing the input data. Once all eight data bits are stored in the data output register, the data output register and the divide-by-8 counter trigger the one-shot. The one-shot then begins the process all over again.
C. The divide-by-8 counter is used to verify that the parity bit is attached to the input data string.
D. It keeps track of the eight data bits, triggering the transfer of the data through the output register and the one-shot, which then resets the control flip-flop and divide-by-8 counter.
Correct Answer: It keeps track of the eight data bits, triggering the transfer of the data through the output register and the one-shot, which then resets the control flip-flop and divide-by-8 counter.
5. Three cascaded modulus-5 counters have an overall modulus of ________.
Correct Answer: accepts data inputs from several lines and allows one of them at a time to pass to the output
8. A 12 MHz clock frequency is applied to a cascaded counter containing a modulus-5 counter, a modulus-8 counter, and a modulus-10 counter. The lowest output frequency possible is ________.
