4-bit Binary Counter
REJ03D0477–0300
Rev.3.00
Jul.15.2005
This counter contains four master-slave flip-flops and additional gating to provide a divide-by-two counter and divideby-eight counter. This counter has a gated zero reset. To use the maximum count length of this counter, the B input is
connected to the Q
appropriate function table.
