Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lecture, students should be able to:
Design a synchronous counter for any count sequence
using the following steps:
Step 1: State diagram
Step 2: Next-state table
Step 3: Flip-flop transition table
Step 4: Circuit excitation table
Step 5: Karnaugh maps
Step 6: Logic expression for the flip-flop inputs
Step 7: Counter implementation

Synchronous Counter
The counter have a fixed time relationship with
each other and generally count at the same time.
A synchronous counter is one which all the
flip-flops are connected to the same clock.

Sequential Circuits
Depends on a clock signal and goes through
a set of sequence of states.
Also called State Machines.
A counter is a type of sequential circuit.
Consists of combinational logic section and
memory section.

Sequential Circuit Design Procedures
The 7 steps in sequential circuit design are:
Step 1: State diagram
Step 2: Next-state table
Step 3: Flip-flop transition table
Step 4: Circuit excitation table
Step 5: Karnaugh maps
Step 6: Logic expression for the flip-flop inputs
Step 7: Counter Implementation

Step 1: The State Diagram
A state machine is described by a state diagram.
It shows the progression of states in the state
machine.
E.g: 3-bit Gray code counter:

Step 2: Next-State Table Lists each state along with the corresponding next
state.
Next state – state that the counter goes to from its
present state upon application of clock pulse.
E.g: 3-bit Gray code counter
PRESENT STATE NEXT STATE

Step 3: Flip-Flop Transition Table To derive the transition table of the J-K flip-flop, let’s
examine the possible transitions:
0 0
FF is in RESET mode: J = K =
FF is in No Change mode: J = K =
0 0 happens when: J = K =
0 1
FF is in SET mode: J = K =
FF is in Toggle mode: J = K =
0 1 happens when: J = K =
1 0
FF is in RESET mode: J = K =
FF is in Toggle mode: J = K =
1 0 happens when: J = K =
0 1

Step 3: Flip-Flop Transition Table
1 1
FF is in SET mode: J = 1, K = 0
FF is in No change mode: J = 0, K = 0
1 1 happens when: J = X, K = 0
The J-K transition (or excitation) table is:
