IMPLEMENTATION OF COUNTER CIRCUITS
RING AND JOHNSON RING COUNTER
OBJECTIVE
Implementation of simple ring counter circuits and Johnson counter circuits
EQUIPMENT
ePAL Trainer Board and Proteus for online Lab
2 resisters 1K ohm
Connecting wires
COMPONENTs
IC Type 7474 Dual D-Type flip-flops
THEORY
Shift register can be arranged to form several types of counters. All shift-register counters use
feedback, whereby the output of the last FF in the shift register is connected back to the first FF.
The ring counter and Johnson counter are most widely used shift register counters.
RING COUNTER
A ring counter is a circular shift register with only one FF being set at any particular time: all
other are cleared. The FFs are connected so that information shifts from left to right and back
around from Q0 to Q3. In most cases only a single 1 is in the register and it is made to circulate
around the register as long as clock pulses are applied. For this reason it is called ring counter.
The basic ring counter can be modified slightly to produce another type of shift-register counter,
which will have somewhat different properties.
