What are the applications of decade counter?

Applications of BCD Counter or Decade Counters

• Clock generation.
• Clock division.
• Integrated oscillator.
• Low power cmos.
• TTL compatible inputs.
• In frequency counting circuits.

Which of the following is a decade counter?

Which of the following is a decade counter? Explanation: IC 7490 is called as decade counter or MOD-10.

What are some devices or places where counters would be used?

Washing machines: We use counters in washing machines also. Similar to the counting operation in microwave oven, the counter in washing machine counts the time which we set it to operate. In both microwave oven and washing machine, we set the device to particular time, and it starts decreasing for every second.

What is a CMOS decade counter?

The CD4017 is a CMOS Decade counter IC. CD4017 is used for low range counting applications. It can count from 0 to 10 (the decade count). The circuit designed by using this ic will save board space and also time required to design the circuit.

What is synchronous decade counter?

What is a synchronous decade counter? A logical counter able to increment a 4 bits word at each clock tick from 0 to 9 in a loop. The main component to make a counter is a J-K Flip Flop. Actually, one for each bit. Otherwise, the decimal greatest number of a decade counter is 9 that is encoded by 1001 in binary code.

What is asynchronous decade counter?

Those Flip-flops are serially connected together, and the clock pulse ripples through the counter. Due to the ripple clock pulse, it’s often called a ripple counter. An Asynchronous counter can count 2n – 1 possible counting states.

How does a decade counter work?

The basic decade counter is an electronic circuit with a 4-bit binary output and an input signal (called a clock). With each clock pulse the outputs advance to the next higher value, resetting to 0000 when the output is 1001 and a subsequent clock pulse is received.

What are the various applications of flip flops?

Application of the flip flop circuit mainly involves in bounce elimination switch, data storage, data transfer, latch, registers, counters, frequency division, memory, etc.

What is synchronous and asynchronous counters and their applications?

Counters are of two types depending upon clock pulse applied. These counters are: Asynchronous counter, and Synchronous counter. In synchronous counter, all flip flops are triggered with same clock simultaneously. In asynchronous counter, different flip flops are triggered with different clock, not simultaneously.

Where is a synchronous and asynchronous counter used?
