4-Bit Johnson Counter Design in Tinkercad

The document describes designing a 4-bit Johnson's counter in Tinkercad. It includes a circuit diagram and truth table of the counter. The procedure explains how to implement the counter using two IC 7474 chips containing D flip-flops. Each flip-flop's clock is connected to a push button to generate clock pulses. The counter can be cleared using another push button. Screenshots show the counter before and after a clock pulse in the Tinkercad simulation. The conclusion states that a 4-bit Johnson's counter was successfully implemented in Tinkercad and its functionality was verified against the theoretical truth table and state diagram.

Aim : Design four bit Johnson's counter in Tinkercad .

Software : Tinkercad

Circuit Diagram and Truth Table:


Waveform and state diagram of 4 Bit Johnson Counter:

Procedure:

1. For implementing N bit Johnson Counter we need N number of Flipflops.


2. For implementing the circuit in the tinkercad I had used two IC 7474 as per
IC it contains two DFF.
3. In the tinkercad I had connected all clocks of D FFs to a Push Button which is
Pulled up High, to generate a clock pulse we just need to press Tactile Switch.
4. I had connected the preset of First FF to Push button which is also Pulled up
High, so we can insert 1 into Q0
5. All clear signals were shorted and connected to the Push button using which
one can clear the content of the counter.
Tinkercad Implementation:

Before Simulating

After Clock Pulse:


CONCLUSION:
Thus, I have implemented a 4 bit Johnson's counter in a Tinkercad using IC7474. I have also
implemented the same circuit in Logisim for a better understanding purpose. Thus I have
checked the theoretical truth table and state diagram in Tinkercad .

To design a four-bit Johnson counter in Tinkercad, the essential components required are four Flip-Flops (FFs), which can be implemented using two IC 7474 chips, as each contains two D-type Flip-Flops (DFF). The steps involved in its implementation include connecting all clock inputs of the DFFs to a Push Button configured to generate a clock pulse when pressed. The preset of the first FF is connected to the Push Button to initialize Q0 with a logic '1'. Clear signals for all FFs are shorted and connected to another Push Button to reset the counter when needed. This setup facilitates the simulation of theoretical truth tables and state diagrams for better conceptual understanding .

A Johnson counter, unlike a regular binary counter, rotates a sequence of bits back to the start, introducing a 'twist' in states which essentially half the frequency of regular binary states. The Johnson counter has a simpler state sequence and can provide a sequence with exactly twice as many states as the number of FFs used, unlike a binary counter's 2^N states. In the Tinkercad model, this leads to simpler clock management and implementation using minimal components, which is an advantage for understanding digital circuits and practical applications requiring specific timing sequences or reduced resource use .
