MSI Asynchronous Counter
This is my 4-bit Medium Scale Asynchronous Counter, it has the functionality of counting all the way to F in hexadecimal, which is 16 in base-ten. If you change switch B to 5v it will only count to
9 before resetting. Conclusion 1. What are the advantage of implementing an asynchronous counter with the 74LS93 integrated circuit versus using discrete flip-flops and gates? This is much easier to wire up and modify. 2. Are there any disadvantages to using the 74LS93 integrated circuit? It can not be programmed as a down counter. 3. The circuit shown below is functionally equivalent to the counter simulated in step (2) of the procedure. Why is this implementation a better solution? It is better because it uses NAND gates instead of AND which are more commonly used and recognized. |
