  • Options
  • A. float state
  • B. LOW state
  • C. high impedance state
  • D. float state and a high impedance state
  • Discuss
  • 3. A comparison between ring and johnson counters indicates that:

  • Options
  • A. a ring counter has fewer flip-flops but requires more decoding circuitry
  • B. a ring counter has an inverted feedback path
  • C. a johnson counter has more flip-flops but less decoding circuitry
  • D. a johnson counter has an inverted feedback path
  • Discuss
  • 4. What happens to the parallel output word in an asynchronous binary down counter whenever a clock pulse occurs?

  • Options
  • A. The output word decreases by 1.
  • B. The output word decreases by 2.
  • C. The output word increases by 1.
  • D. The output word increases by 2.
  • Discuss
  • 5. One of the major drawbacks to the use of asynchronous counters is that:

  • Options
  • A. low-frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delays
  • B. high-frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delays
  • C. Asynchronous counters do not have major drawbacks and are suitable for use in high- and low-frequency counting applications.
  • D. Asynchronous counters do not have propagation delays, which limits their use in high-frequency applications.
