  • 1. In a 74192 BCD decade up-/down-counter, the terminal count up and the terminal count down are active-LOW.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 2. When implementing a complete system application using IC counter chips, output devices such as LED indicators must be configured to operate from the counter outputs.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 3. Generally speaking, the synchronous counter requires more circuitry than an asynchronous counter.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 4. In many cases, counters must be strobed in order to eliminate glitches.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 5. The 7447 has a 4-bit BCD input, seven individual active-LOW outputs, and a ripple blanking input and output.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 6. Asynchronous counters are known as modulus counters.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 7. Three cascaded modulus-10 counters have an overall modulus of 1000.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 8. A parallel in/serial out shift register enters all data bits simultaneously and transfers them out one bit at a time.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 9. The terminal marked A on the CTR block in the given figure is the SET terminal.

    Digital Electronics Counters: The terminal marked A on the CTR block in the given figure is the SET terminal.


  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 10. One characteristic of a ring counter is that the modulus is equal to the number of flip-flops in the register and, consequently, there are never any unused or invalid states.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
