  • Options
  • A. The data output line may be grounded.
  • B. One of the clock input lines may be open.
  • C. One of the interconnect lines between two stages may have a solder bridge to ground.

  • Discuss
  • 4. The process of designing a synchronous counter that will count in a nonbinary manner is primarily based on:

  • Options
  • A. external logic circuits that decode the various states of the counter to apply the correct logic levels to the J-K inputs
  • B. modifying BCD counters to change states on every second input clock pulse
  • C. modifying asynchronous counters to change states on every second input clock pulse
  • D. elimination of the counter stages and the addition of combinational logic circuits to produce the desired counts
  • Discuss
