Theory:
There is a wide variety of binary codes used in digital systems. Some of these codes are binary- coded-
decimal (BCD), Excess-3, Gray, octal, hexadecimal, etc. Often it is required to convert from one code to
another. For example the input to a digital system may be in natural BCD and output may be 7-segment
LEDs. The digital system used may be capable of processing the data in straight binary format. Therefore,
the data has to be converted from one type of code to another type for different purpose. The various code
converters can be designed using gates.

1) Binary Code:

It is straight binary code. The binary number system (with base 2) represents values using two symbols,
typically 0 and 1.Computers call these bits as either off (0) or on (1). The binary code are made up of
only zeros and ones, and used in computers to stand for letters and digits. It is used to represent numbers
using natural or straight binary form.

It is a weighted code since a weight is assigned to every position. Various arithmetic operations can be
performed in this form. Binary code is weighted and sequential code.

2) Gray Code:

It is a modified binary code in which a decimal number is represented in binary form in such a way that
each Gray- Code number differs from the preceding and the succeeding number by a single bit. (E.g. for
decimal number 5 the equivalent Gray code is 0111 and for 6 it is 0101. These two codes differ by only
one bit position i. e. third from the left.) Whereas by using binary code there is a possibility of change of
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

all bits if we move from one number to other in sequence (e.g. binary code for 7 is 0111 and for 8 it is
1000). Therefore it is more useful to use Gray code in some applications than binary code.

The Gray code is a nonweighted code i.e. there are no specific weights assigned to the bit positions.

Like binary numbers, the Gray code can have any no. of bits. It is also known as reflected code.

Applications:

1. Important feature of Gray code is it exhibits only a single bit change from one code word to the next in
sequence. This property is important in many applications such as Shaft encoders where error
susceptibility increases with number of bit changes between adjacent numbers in sequence.

2. It is sometimes convenient to use the Gray code to represent the digital data converted from the analog
data (Outputs of ADC).

3. Gray codes are used in angle-measuring devices in preference to straight forward binary encoding.

4. Gray codes are widely used in K-map

The disadvantage of Gray code is that it is not good for arithmetic operation

Binary to Gray Conversion

In this conversion, the input straight binary number can easily be converted to its Gray code equivalent.

1. Record the most significant bit as it is.

2. EX-OR this bit to the next position bit, record the resultant bit.
3. Record successive EX-ORed bits until completed.
4. Convert 0011 binary to Gray.

Gray to Binary Conversion

1. The Gray code can be converted to binary by a reverse process.

2. Record the most significant bit as it is.
3. EX-OR binary MSB to the next bit of Gray code and record the resultant bit.
4. Continue the process until the LSB is recorded.
5. Convert 1011 Gray to Binary code.

3) BCD Code:

Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) is used to represent each of decimal digits (0 to 9) with a 4-bit binary code.
For example (23)10 is represented by 0010 0011 using BCD code rather than(10111)2 This code is also
known as 8-4-2-1 code as 8421 indicates the binary weights of four bits(23, 22, 21, 20). It is easy to convert
between BCD code numbers and the familiar decimal numbers. It is the main advantage of this code.
With four bits, sixteen numbers (0000 to 1111) can be represented, but in BCD code only 10 of these are
used. The six code combinations (1010 to 1111) are not used and are invalid.

Applications: Some early computers processed BCD numbers. Arithmetic operations can be performed
using this code. Input to a digital system may be in natural BCD and output may be 7-segment LEDs.

It is observed that more number of bits are required to code a decimal number using BCD code than using
the straight binary code. However in spite of this disadvantage it is very convenient and useful code for
input and output operations in digital systems.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

4) EXCESS-3 Code:

Excess-3, also called XS3, is a non weighted code used to express decimal numbers. It can be used for the
representation of multi-digit decimal numbers as can BCD.The code for each decimal number is obtained
by adding decimal 3 and then converting it to a 4-bit binary number. For e.g. decimal 2 is coded as 0010
+ 0011 = 0101 in Excess-3 code.

This is self complementing code which means 1‘s complement of the coded number yields 9‘s
complement of the number itself. Self complementing property of this helps considerably in
performing subtraction operation in digital systems, so this code is used for certain arithmetic
operations.

BCD To Excess – 3 Code Conversions:

Convert BCD 2 i. e. 0010 to Excess – 3 codes

For converting 4 bit BCD code to Excess – 3, add 0011 i. e. decimal 3 to the respective code using rules
of binary addition.

0010 + 0011 = 0101 – Excess – 3 code for BCD 2

Excess – 3 Code To BCD Conversion:

The 4 bit Excess-3 coded digit can be converted into BCD code by subtracting decimal value 3 i.e. 0011
from 4 bit Excess-3 digit.

e.g. Convert 4-bit Excess-3 value 0101 to equivalent BCD code.

0101-0011= 0010- BCD for 2

FAQ’s with answers:

Q.1) What is the need of code converters?

There is a wide variety of binary codes used in digital systems. Often it is required to convert from one
code to another. For example the input to a digital system may be in natural BCD and output may be 7-
segment LEDs. The digital system used may be capable of processing the data in straight binary format.
Therefore, the data has to be converted from one type of code to another type for different purpose.

Q.2) What is Gray code?

It is a modified binary code in which a decimal number is represented in binary form in such a way that
each Gray- Code number differs from the preceding and the succeeding number by a single bit.

(e.g. for decimal number 5 the equivalent Gray code is 0111 and for 6 it is 0101. These two codes differ
by only one bit position i. e. third from the left.) It is non weighted code.

Q.3) What is the significance of Gray code?

Important feature of Gray code is it exhibits only a single bit change from one code word to the next in
sequence. Whereas by using binary code there is a possibility of change of all bits if we move from one
number to other in sequence (e.g. binary code for 7 is 0111 and for 8 it is 1000). Therefore it is more
useful to use Gray code in some applications than binary code.

Q.4) What are applications of Gray code?

1. Important feature of Gray code is it exhibits only a single bit change from one code word to the next in
sequence. This property is important in many applications such as Shaft encoders where error
susceptibility increases with number of bit changes between adjacent numbers in sequence.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

2. It is sometimes convenient to use the Gray code to represent the digital data converted from the analog
data (Outputs of ADC).

3. Gray codes are used in angle-measuring devices in preference to straight forward binary encoding.

4. Gray codes are widely used in K-map

Q.5) What are weighted codes and non-weighted codes?

In weighted codes each digit position of number represents a specific weight. The codes 8421, 2421, and
5211 are weighted codes.

Non weighted codes are not assigned with any weight to each digit position i.e. each digit position
within the number is not assigned a fixed value. Gray code, Excess-3 code are non-weighted code.

Q.6) Why is Excess-3 code called as self-complementing code?

Excess-3 code is called self-complementing code because 9‘s complement of a coded number can be
obtained by just complementing each bit.

Q.7) What is invalid BCD?

With four bits, sixteen numbers (0000 to 1111) can be represented, but in BCD code only 10 of these are
used as decimal numbers have only 10 digits fro 0 to 9. The six code combinations (1010 to 1111) are not
used and are invalid.

 Title: BCD Adder

 Objective: To learn different types of adder
 Problem Statement: Design and Realization of BCD Adder using 4-bit Binary Adder (IC 7483).
 Hardware and software requirement:
Digital Trainer Kit, IC 7483,7432 7408, Patch Cord ,+ 5V Power Supply

Theory:
 Carry Save Adder:

A carry save adder is just a set of one bit full adder, without any carry chaining. Therefore n-
bit CSA receivers three n-bit operands, namely A(n-1),A(0) and CIN(n-1) -------------- CIN(0) and
Generate two n-bit result values, sum (n-1)-----------sum(0) and count(n-1) ------ count(0).

 Carry Propagation Adder:

The parallel adder is ripple carry type in which the carry output of each full adder

stage is connected to the carry input of the next highest order stage.

Therefore, the sum and carry outputs of any stage cannot be produced until the carry occurs. This
leads to a time delay in addition process.

This is known as Carry Propagation Delay.

 BCD Adder: It is a circuit that adds two BCD digits & produces a sum of digits also in BCD.

 Rules for BCD addition:

1. Add two numbers using rules of Binary addition.

2. If the 4 bit sum is greater than 9 or if carry is generated then the sum is invalid. To correct the
sum add 0110 i.e. (6)10 to sum. If carry is generated from this addition add it to next higher order
BCD digit.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

3. If the 4 bit sum is less than 9 or equal to 9 then sum is in proper form.

 The BCD addition can be explained with the help of following 3 cases -

CASE I: Sum <= 9 & carry = 0.

Add BCD digits 3 & 4

1. 0011

+ 0100

0111

Answer is valid BCD number = (7) BCD & so 0110 is not added.

CASE II: Sum > 9 & carry = 0.

Add BCD digits 6 & 5

1. 0110

+ 0101

1011

Invalid BCD (since sum > 9) so 0110 is to be added

Design of BCD adder :

1. 4 bit binary adder is used for initial addition. i.e. binary addition of two 4 bit numbers.(
with Cin = 0 ),
2. Logic circuit to sense if sum exceeds 9 or carry = 1, this digital circuit will produce high
output otherwise its output will be zero.
3. One more 4-bit adder to add (0110)2 in the sum is greater than 9 or carry is 1.

 Title: Realization of Boolean expression using 8:1 Multiplexer 74151

 Objective: To learn different techniques of designing multiplexer
 Problem Statement:
1. Verification of Functional table.
2. Verification of Sum of Product (SOP) and Product of Sum (POS) with the help of
given Boolean expression.
3. Verify the functional table using cascading of two multiplexers
4. Realization of Boolean expression using hardware reduction method for the given
equation.

 Hardware & software requirements:

Digital trainer board, IC 74151, IC 7404, IC 7432, patch cords, + 5V Power supply

Theory:
1 .What is multiplexer?
 Multiplexer is a digital switch which allows digital information from
several sources to be routed onto a single output line. Basic
multiplexer has several data inputs and a single output line.
 The selection of a particular input line is controlled by a set of
selection line.
 There are 2n input lines & n is the number of selection line whose bit
combinations determines which input is selected .It is ―Many into
One‖.
 Strobe: - It is used to enable/ disable the logic circuit OR ‗E‘ is called
as enable I/P which is generally active LOW. It is used for cascading
 MUX is a single pole multiple way switch.
2. Necessity of multiplexer
o In most of the electronic systems, digital data is available on more than
one lines. It is necessary to route this data over a single line.
o It select one of the many I/P at a time.
o Multiplexer improves the reliability of digital system because it
reduces the number of external wire connection.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

3. Enlist significance and advantages of Multiplexer

 It doesn‘t need K-map & logic simplification.

 The IC package count is minimized.
 It simplifies the logic design.
 In designing the combinational circuit
 It reduces the complexity & cost.
 To minimize number of connections in communication system were
we need to handle thousands of connections. Ex. Telephone exchange.

4. Applications of MUX
 Data selector to select one out of many data I/P.
 In Data Acquisition system.
 In the D/A converter.

Multiplexer Tree
 It is nothing but construction of more number of line using less
number of lines.
 It is possible to expand the range of inputs for multiplexers beyond the
available Range in the integrated circuits. This can be accomplished by
interconnecting several multiplexers.

8:1 MUX:
The block diagram of 8:1 MUX & its TT is shown. It has eight data
I/P & one enable input, three select lines and one O/P.

Operating principle:
When the Strobe or Enable input is active low, we can select any one
of eight data I/P and connect to O/P.

 Title: - Comparators
 Objective: - 1 bit, 2 bit Comparator.
 Problem Statement: To verify truth table of 1 bit and 2 bit comparator using logic gate
and comparator IC.
 Hardware & Software Requirement’s :
Digital Trainer Kit, Comparator IC-7485, patch cords, +5V power supply.

Theory:

Another common and very useful combinational logic circuit is that of the Digital Comparator
circuit. Digital or Binary Comparators are made up from standard AND, NOR and NOT gates
that compare the digital signals present at their input terminals and produce an output depending
upon the condition of those inputs.

For example, along with being able to add and subtract binary numbers we need to be able to
compare them and determine whether the value of input A is greater than, smaller than or equal
to the value at input B etc. The digital comparator accomplishes this using several logic gates
that operate on the principles of Boolean algebra. There are two main types of Digital
Comparator available and these are

1. Identity Comparator – an Identity Comparator is a digital comparator that has only one
output terminal for when A = B either ―HIGH‖ A = B = 1 or ―LOW‖ A = B = 0

 2. Magnitude Comparator – a Magnitude Comparator is a digital comparator which has

three output terminals, one each for equality, A = B greater than, A > B and less than
A < B.

The purpose of a Digital Comparator is to compare a set of variables or unknown numbers, for
example A (A1, A2, A3… An, etc) against that of a constant or unknown value such as B (B1,
B2, B3… Bn, etc) and produce an output condition or flag depending upon the result of the
comparison. For example, a magnitude comparator of two 1-bits, (A and B) inputs would
produce the following three output conditions when compared to each other. Which means: A is
greater than B, A is equal to B, and A is less than B
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

This is useful if we want to compare two variables and want to produce an output when any of
the above three conditions are achieved. For example, produce an output from a counter when a
certain count number is reached. Consider the simple 1-bit comparator below

1. 1-bit comparator

Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

 For n bit Comparator :-

Digital comparators actually use Exclusive-NOR gates within their design for comparing their
respective pairs of bits. When we are comparing two binary or BCD values or variables against
each other, we are comparing the ―magnitude‖ of these values, a logic ―0‖ against a logic ―1‖
which is where the term Magnitude Comparator comes from.

As well as comparing individual bits, we can design larger bit comparators by cascading together
n of these and produce a n-bit comparator just as we did for the n-bit adder in the previous
tutorial. Multi-bit comparators can be constructed to compare whole binary or BCD words to
produce an output if one word is larger, equal to or less than the other.

Outcome:
Up and down counters are successfully implemented, the comparators are studied &
o/p are checked. The truth table is verified.

 Title: Parity Generator and Parity Checker.

 Objective: Learn Even/Odd parity Generator/Checker using logic gates
 Problem Statement: Design & Implement Parity Generator using EX-OR
 Hardware & software requirement: Digital Trainer Kit, IC 7486 (Ex-OR), IC 7404
(NOT), IC 74180, Patch Cord ,+ 5V Power Supply

Theory:
In digital communication, the digital data is sent over the telephone lines using
different binary codes.

During the transmission, because of ―noise‖(i.e: Unwanted voltage fluctuation)

, signal 0 may become 1 or 1 may become 0 and wrong information (i.e: corrupted data ) may be
received at the destination and must be resent.

This problem of communication is overcome by using Error-detecting code.

To detect these errors, Parity Bit is usually transmitted along with the data bits.

At the receiving end, parity will be checked.

Parity: A term used to specify the number of one‘s in a digital word as odd or even.

There are two types of Parity - even and odd.

Even Parity Generator will produce a logic 1 at its output if the data word contains an odd
number of ones. If the data word contains an even number of ones then the output of the parity
generator will be low. By concatenating the Parity bit to the data word, a word will be formed
which always has an even number of ones i.e. has even parity.

Parity bit: An extra bit attached to a binary word to make the parity of resultant word even or
odd. Parity bits are extra signals which are added to a data word to enable error checking.

Definition:- 2 A check bit appended to an array of binary digit to make the sum of all binary
digits.

Parity generator: A logic circuit that generates an additional bit which when appended to a
digital word makes its parity as desired (odd or even).

o Parity generators calculate the parity of data packets and add a parity amount to them.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

o Parity is used on communication links (e.g. Modem lines) and is often included in memory
systems.

Parity checker: At the receiving end a logic circuit is used to check the parity of received
information, and determines whether the error is included in the message or not.

Even bit Parity Code: The total number of ones in parity code word is even.

Odd bit Parity Code: The total number of ones in parity code word is odd.

The single parity bit code can detect the single bit error. If error is more than 1 bit, it is not
possible to detect the error.

Eg:- 1) Assume the even parity code word is sent by the transmitter is 10111, the
code word received by the receiver is 10011.

The parity of received code word is odd, it shows that one bit error is introduced over the
channel.

Eg:- 2) But if the received code word is 10001, the parity of received code is even and
shows that there is no error introduced over the channel.

Actually two bits are changed over the path.

Limitations: -

1) The one bit parity code word can detect one bit error.

2) It cannot detect the location of error and hence error cannot be corrected

 Title: Flip-flop.--- Write any two Flip Flop conversions others for study purpose

 Objective: Conversion of Flip-flop.

 Problem Statement: Conversion from one type of flip-flop to another type of flip-flop.
.
 Hardware & Software Requirement’s :

Digital Trainer Kit, IC 7476, IC 7474, IC 7408, IC 7432 & IC 7404.patch cords, +5V power
supply.

Theory:

A Flip – flop is an electronic device which is having two stable states and a feedback path
which is used to store 1 – bit of information by using the clock signal as input. Latches are also
used to do the same task except that they do not use a clock signal. Hence to say it simply, ―Flip
– flops are clocked latches‖. They are used to store only 1 – bit of information and it can remain
in the same state until the clock signal affects the state of the input.

There are four types of flip – flops

 SR flip – flop
 D flip – flop
 JK flip – flop
 T flip-flop

Generally, JK flip – flops and D flip – flops are the most widely used flip – flops. And so their
availability in the form of integrated circuits (IC‘s) is abundant. Numerous varieties of JK flip –
flop and D flip – flop are available in the semiconductor market. The less popular SR flip – flop
and T flip – flop are not available in the market as integrated circuits (IC‘s) (even though a very
few number of SR flip – flops are available as IC‘s, they are not frequently used).

There might be a situation where the less popular flip – flops are required in order to implement
a logic circuit. In order use the less popular flip – flops, we will convert one type of flip – flop
into another. Some of the most common flip – flop conversions are:-

1. SR Flip – flop to JK Flip – flop

2. SR Flip – flop to D Flip – flop
3. SR Flip – flop to T Flip – flop
4. JK Flip – flop to SR Flip – flop
5. JK Flip – flop to D Flip – flop

6. JK Flip – flop to T Flip – flop

7. D Flip – flop to SR Flip – flop
8. D Flip – flop to JK Flip – flop
9. D Flip-flop to T Flip-flop

 General model used to convert one type of FF to other

In order to convert one flip – flop to other type of flip – flop, we should design a combinational
circuit that is connected to the actual flip – flop. Inputs to combinational circuit are same as the
inputs of the desired flip – flop. Outputs of combinational circuit are same as the inputs of the
available flip – flop. So the output of combinational circuit is connected to the input of our
available flip – flop. The pictorial representation of the same is shown below.

1. SR Flip – flop to JK Flip – flop

Here we are required to convert the SR flip – flop to JK flip – flop. So first we design a
combinational circuit with J and K as its inputs and we connect its output to the input of our
available flip flop i.e. an SR flip – flop. So its outputs are same as that of JK flip – flop.

Let‘s write a truth table for the two inputs, J and K. For two inputs along with the QP, we get 8
possible combinations in truth table. Consider that when the two inputs are applied, QP is the
present state and QN is the next state. For every combination of J, K , QP , we find the
corresponding QN state. Here QN will give the state values that to which the output of the JK flip
– flop will jump after the present state, on applying the inputs. Now we write all the
combinations of S and R in the truth table to get each QN value from corresponding QP. Hence
these are the values of S and R that are used to change the state of flip flop from QP to QN.

In order to deduce the Boolean equations of S and R in terms of J and K, we use Karnaugh maps
from the above table.

The K – map:-

The Boolean equation for S is S = JQP

Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

The Boolean equation for R is R = KQP.

The Boolean equations of S and R in terms of J, K and QP are: S = JQ‘P and R = KQP

The logic diagram:-

JK flip – flop implemented from SR flip – flop is shown below. Here J and K are external inputs
to the circuit. S and R are the outputs of the designed combinational outputs.

2. SR Flip – flop to D Flip – flop

Converting the SR flip – flop to D flip – flop involves connecting the Data input (D) to the SR
flip – flop. Here the Data input is connected directly to the S input and the inverted D input
(using a NOT gate) is connected to R input. The same can be derived from truth table and
corresponding K – maps. S and R are the inputs of the flip – flop while QP and QP‘ are the present
state and its complementary outputs of the flip – flop. We should design a combinational circuit
such that its input is D and outputs are S and R. Outputs from the combinational circuit S and R
are connected as inputs to the SR flip – flop.

The truth table for conversion of SR flip – flop to D flip – flop is shown below. The truth table is
drawn for the D input and QP output to find the corresponding QN output.

3. SR Flip – flop to T Flip – flop

The combinational circuit required in order to convert an SR flip – flop to T flip – flop can be
constructed from the truth table. The input to the combinational circuit is T (Toggle input) and
the outputs of the combinational circuit are S and R. Here S and R are the inputs of the actual flip
– flop. The output and the complement output of the flip – flop are QP and Q‘P. The truth table
consists of combinations of T and QP in order to get QN where QN is the next state output of the
flip – flop. The combinations of S and R which results in QN are also tabulated in the same table.

JK Flip – flop to other Flip – flops

4. JK Flip – flop to SR Flip – flop

To convert the JK flip – flop into SR flip – flop, we design a combinational circuit with S and R
as its inputs and J and K as its outputs. Here J and K are the inputs of actual flip – flop. So for
making this conversion, we should obtain the J &amp, K values in terms of S, R and QP.
Consider that when the two inputs S and R are applied, QP is the present state output and QN is
the next state output. For each combination of S, R and QP, we find the corresponding QN state.
Now, we prepare a truth table for the possible combination of the inputs S, R and QP. We can
make 8 possible combinations for the two S and R inputs along with QP. For each combination of
S and R inputs and QP we find the corresponding value of QN. Now we write all the values of J
and K in the truth table to get each QN value from corresponding QP. In SR flip – flop, when the 2
inputs are high i.e. S = 1 & R = 1,

5. JK Flip – flop to D Flip – flop

Converting the JK flip – flop to D flip – flop, involves in connecting the Data input (D) to the JK
flip – flop through a combinational circuit. Here the Data input is connected directly to the J
input and the inverted D input (using a NOT gate) is connected to K input.

The design of the combinational circuit should be in such a way that D is its input and J & K are
its outputs. The outputs of the combinational circuit J & K are connected as inputs to the flip –
flop. QP is the present state output of the flip – flop. Q‘P is its complementary and QN is the
next state output. The truth table for converting JK flip – flop to D flip – flop is shown below.

Converting the JK flip – flop to T flip flop, involves in connecting the Toggle input (T) directly
to the J and K inputs. So toggle (T) will be the external input to the combinational circuit. Its
output is connected to the Input of actual flip – flop (JK flip – flop).

We prepare a truth table by considering 4 possible combinations of the Toggle input (T) along
with QP. QP and QP‘ are the present state output and its complement output of the flip – flop. QN is
the next state output. The truth table is drawn for the T input and QP output to find the

D Flip – flop to other Flip – flops

I). D Flip – flop to SR Flip – flop

To convert the D flip – flop into SR flip – flop, a combinational circuit should be constructed
where its inputs are S and R and its output is D. Here Data (D) is the input of actual flip – flop.
The truth table is drawn with the 8 possible combinations of the two inputs S & R and QP. QP and
QP‘ are the present state and its complement outputs of the flip – flop.

When the two inputs of SR flip – flop are high i.e. S = 1 and R = 1, then the QP value is invalid
and hence the Data (D) inputs for the corresponding QP‘s are considered as ‗Don‘t cares‘.
The truth table for S, R and QP in order to get QN is shown below. It also consists of D inputs in
order to get the same QN.

 Title: Ripple Counter

 Objective: Ripple up and down counter using IC 7476
 Problem statement: To design and implement 3 bit UP, Down, Ripple Counter using JK
Flip-flop.
 Hardware & software requirements:
IC 7476 (MS-JK Flip-flop), Digital Trainer Kit, patch cords, +5V power supply.

Theory:

1) Asynchronous counter:

A digital counter is a set of flip flop. An Asynchronous counter uses T flip flop to
perform a counting function. The actual hardware used is usually J-K flip-flop connected to logic
1.
In ripple counter, the first flip-flop is clocked by the external clock pulse & then
each successive flip-flop is clocked by the Q or /Q‘ output the previous flip-flop. Therefore in an
asynchronous counter the flip-flop are not clocked simultaneously. The input of MS-JK is
connected to VCC because when both inputs are one output is toggled. As MS-JK is negative
edge triggered at each high to low transition the next flip-flop is triggered. On this basis the
design is done for MOD-8 counter.

2) Up Counter:

Fig 1 shows 3 bit Asynchronous Up Counter. Here Flip-flop A act as a MSB

Flip-flop and Flip-flop C can act as a LSB Flip-flop. Clock pulse is connected to the Clock of
flip-flop C. Output of Flip-flop C (Qc) is connected to clock of next flip-flop(i.e. Flip-flop B)
and so on. As soon as clock pulse changes out put is going to -change(at the negative edge of
clock pulse) as a Up count sequence. For 3 bit Up counter Truth table is as shown below.

3) Down Counter:

Fig 2 shows 3 bit Asynchronous Down Counter. Here Flip-flop a act as

a MSB Flip-flop and Flip-flop C can act as a LSB Flip-flop. Clock pulse is connected to the
Clock of flip-flop C. Output of Flip-flop C (Qc‘) is connected to clock of next flip- flop (i.e. Flip-
flop B) and so on. As soon as clock pulse changes output is going to change (at the
negative edge of clock pulse) as a down count sequence. For 3 bit down counter Truth table is as
shown below.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

In both the counters Inputs J and K are connected to Vcc, hence J-K Flip flop can work in toggle
mode. Preset and Clear both are connected to logic 1.

FAQ’s with answers:

 What do you mean by Counter?
A Counter is a register capable of counting the no. of clock pulses arriving at Its clock-
inputs. Count represents the no. of clock pulses arrived. A specified sequence of states appears as
the counter output.
 What are the types of Counters? Explain each.
There are two types of counters as Asynchronous Counter and Synchronous Counter.
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

Asynchronous Counter: In this counter, the first flip-flop is clocked by the external clock pulse
and then each successive flip-flop is clocked by the Q or Q‘ o/p of the previous flip-flop. Hence
in Asynchronous Counter flip-flops are not clocked simultaneously and hence called as Ripple
Counter.
Synchronous Counter: In this counter, the common clock input is connected to all the flip-
flops simultaneously.
 What are the problems involved in Ripple Counter?
There are two problems in Ripple Counter as
i. Glitch
ii. Propagation delay of flip-flop.
 Why asynchronous counters are called as ripple counters?
In asynchronous counter the first flip-flop is clocked by the external clock pulse & then each
successive flip-flop is clocked by the Q or /Q‘ output of the previous flip-flop i.e. clock (pulses)
applied ripple from stage to stage to stage (LSB to MSB) hence asynchronous counters are called
as ripple counters.
 What do you mean by pre-settable counters?
A counter in which starting state is not zero can be designed by making use of the
Preset inputs of the flip flops. This is referred to as loading the counter asynchronously. This is
referred to as pre-settable counter.
 What are the applications of asynchronous counters?
Digital clock
Frequency divider circuits
 Whether frequency division takes place in asynchronous counters?
Yes. In counter, the signal at the output of last flip flop (i.e. MSB) will have a frequency
equal to the input clock frequency divided by the MOD number of the counter.
 Can n- bit up asynchronous counter will act as n- bit down asynchronous counter
without changing the position of the clock?
Yes. Instead of taking output of a counter from uncomplimentary output (Q), if we take it
from complimentary output (Q bar), the same counter circuit will work as down counter.

 Title: Synchronous counter

 Objective: 3 Bit up/down synchronous Counter
 Problem Statement: To design and implement 3 bit UP and Down, Controlled UP/Down
Synchronous Counter using MS-JK Flip-flop.
 Hardware & Software Requirement’s :
Digital Trainer Kit, IC 7476, IC 7408, IC 7432 & IC 7404.patch cords, +5V power supply.

Theory:

Counters: counters are logical device or registers capable of counting the no of states or no of
clock pulse arriving at its clock input where clock is a timing parameter arriving at regular
intervals of time, so counters can be also used to measure time & frequencies. They are made
up of flip flops. Where the pulse are counted to be made of it goes up step by step & the o/p of
counter in the flip flop is decoded to read the count to its starting step after counting n pulse
incase of module & counters.

 Synchronous Counter:

In this counter, all the flip flops receive the external clock pulse simultaneously.

Ex:- Ring counter & Johnson counter

The gates propagation delay at reset time will not be present or we may
say will not occur.

 Classification of synchronous counter:

Depending on the way in which counting processes, the synchronous

counter is classified is :-

1) Up counter.
2) Down counter.
3) Up down counter.

 Up Counter:
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2019)

The up counter counts binary form 0 to7 i.e.(000 to 111).It counts from small to
large number. It‘s O/P goes on increasing as they receive clock pulse

 Down Counter:
This down counter counts binary from 7-0 i.e.(111-000).It counts from large to
small number. It‘s O/P goes on increasing as they receive clock pulse

AIM : To design and implement sequence generator with and without bushing using

IC 7476.

OBJECTIVE : To understand sequence generator, one of the sequential circuit.

IC’s USED : IC 7476(Dual JK), 7408 (AND-gate), 7432 (OR-gate).

THEORY :
A sequential circuit which generates a prescribed sequence of bits in synchronism with a
clock is referred to as a sequence generator. These pulse trains or sequence of bits can be used to
open valves, close gates, turn on lights, and turn off machines and other variety of jobs.

For the design of sequence generator, we first determine the required no. of flip flops and
the logic circuit for the next state decoder.

No. of flip flops required to generate particular sequence can be determined as follows.

1) Find the no. of 1‘s in the sequence.

2) Find the no. of 0‘s in the sequence.
3) Take the maximum out of two.
4) If N is the required no. of flip flops, choose minimum value of ‗n‘ to satisfy equation
given below.
Max (0‘s , 1‘s) ≤ 2n-1

The sequence generator can be classified as

1) sequence generator without bushing

2) sequence generator with bushing

The aim in this experiment is to design a sequence generator to generate a sequence of bit i.e.
10101.

For finding the no. of flip flops we use the formula

m≤2n-1

where m= maximum count and

n= no. of flip flops required.

Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2015)

For the given sequence no. of 1‘s=3 no. of 0‘s=2, so minimum value of n which satisfies above
relation is 3. Once the no. of flip flops are decided we have to assign unique states corresponding
to each bit in the given sequence such that flip flop representing least significant bit generates the
given sequence ( usually the o/p of flip flop representing the least significant bit is used to
generate the given sequence)

Design -

For the sequence of bits 10101 we require three flip flops as calculated above. The State
Diagram, state assignment for this problem is shown below. Where we will use the o/p FF 0 i.e.
o/p of first flip flop Q0 as a sequence of bits & assign unique states corresponding to each bit in
the sequence as shown in state assignment table.

1. Sequence Generator with Bushing :-

The state assignment for this is shown below as we have seen during designing of sequence
generator without using bushing we will have the output ‗C‘ i.e. the output of first Flip-Flop is a
sequence generator of bits and assign unique states corresponding to each bit in the sequence out with
bushing means we have to use unassigned states also that is 4,6,7.

register instead of flip flops. Use IC 7495 universal shift register IC and try to implement
sequence generator.

FAQs :

1. What is sequential logic circuit?

A sequential logic circuit consists of a memory elements in addition to

combinational circuit. Its output at any instant of time depends upon

the present input as well as present state of memory element.

2. What is meant by delay line?

It is used to introduce time delays in digital signals.

3. What is meant by following terms

a) Synchronous preset b) Asynchronous preset

c) Synchronous clear d) Asynchronous clear

 a)Preset operation is synchronised with the clock

Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2015)

 b)Preset operation is independent of the clock

 c) clear is performed in synchronous with clock
 d) clear is performed independent with clock
4. Is asynchronous counter faster than synchronous counter ?
In a synchronous counter the time required for change of any state is same and is equal
to delay time of one flip flop where as in asynchronous counter all flip flops are not
clocked simultaneously, hence time required is not same.

5. What is mean by lockout in counter?

In a counter design for a fewer state than the maximum possible state some time it may
so happen that counter enters in unused state and goes from one unused state to another
unused state and never comes to used state.

6. What is mean by state table?

It consists of complete information about present state and next state and outputs of a
sequential system.

7. What is mean by state diagram?

The information available in a state table can be represented as graphically. the graphical
representation is known as state diagram.

8. What is the advantage of state reduction in the design of sequential circuit?

It reduces the number of flip flops

9. What is meant by excitation table?

This gives information about what should be the flip flop inputs if outputs are specified
before and after the clock pulse.

10. How many flip flops are required to design sequence generator using Counters:
max (0‘S,1‘S) in a given sequence <= 2(N - 1)

Where, N = Number of flip flops

11. How many flip flops are required to design sequence generator using shift registers:
S<= 2N - 1
Digital Electronics Lab (Pattern 2015)

Where, N=Number of flip flops

S= Length of sequence

12. What is Lock out condition? How it is avoided?

When counter enters into one of the invalid state and after application of

pulses remains in invalid states only i. e. counter gets locked into invalid state

& this is called as lock out. Lock out can be avoided by providing bushing to

all the invalid states in such a way that after application of one or more clock

pulses counter will fall into one of the valid state.

 Title: Simple ASM using

 Objective: Learn multiplexer controller method
 Problem Statement : Design of 2 bit Up counter using multiplexer controller method
1. 2 bit counter has 4 states i.e. 00,01,10,11.
2. In the state diagram if mode control M =0, counter will be latched in the same state and
will start incrementing to the next state if M=1.
3. By referring the state diagram, ASM chart is drawn.

 Hardware & software requirements: Digital Trainer Kit, 74151(8:1 MUX), 7474 (D
Flip-flop), Power supply, Patch Cord.

Theory:
1. ASM chart means algorithmic state machine chart.
2. It is a type of flowchart that can be used to represent the state transitions and generated
outputs for finite state machine(FSM)
3. ASM charts are similar to traditional flowcharts.
4. Unlike a traditional flowchart, this includes timing information. This chart specifies that
the FSM flows from one state to another only after each active clock edge.

 Elements used in ASM Chart

1. State Box- A rectangle represents a state of the FSM. It is equivalent to node in the state
diagram or row in the state table. The name of the state should be indicated outside the
box in left top corner. Moore type of outputs is listed inside the box.

2. Decision Box- A diamond indicates that the stated condition expression has to be tested
and an exit path has to be chosen accordingly. The condition expression consists of one
or many inputs.

3. Conditional output Box- The oval denotes the output signals that are of Mealy type.
These output depend on the values of state variables and the Inputs of FSM .the condition
that determines whether such Outputs are generated is specified in a decision box.

These are shown in the figure given below.

Significance : It is an aid to design the complex circuits.ASM charts are used to describe
complex circuits that include one or more FSM‘s and another circuitry such as
registers,counters,adders,multipliers,etc.

ASM Block

1. It is a structure which consists of single state box and any decision and conditional output
boxes that the state box may be connected to.
2. It has one entrance and any number of exit paths.

Each block describes the state of the system during the interval of one clock pulse. Multiplexer
controller method of design has three levels of components as shown in the figure below:

ASM using Multiplexer controller Method:-

1. The multiplexer outputs are applied to the input of the flip-flop forming the register at the
second level to hold the present state inputs.
2. The multiplexers decide the next state of the register as outputs of MUX has been
connected to flip-flop inputs.
3. Third level is the decoder which provides separate output for each control state. The
decoder can be replaced by the combinational circuit.

FAQ’s:
 1. What is meaning of ASM and FSM

ASM is algorithmic state machine chart.It is a method to implement FSM. It is a type of

flowchart that can be used to represent the state transitions and generated outputs for finite state
machine (FSM).

A finite state machine (FSM) or finite state automaton (plural: automata) or simply a state
machine, is a model of behavior composed of a finite number of states, transitions between those
states, and actions. A finite state machine is an abstract model of a machine with a primitive
internal memory.

2. What is the major difference between ASM chart and traditional flowchart?

ASM charts are similar to traditional flowcharts. Unlike a traditional flowchart, this includes
timing information. This chart specifies that the FSM flows from one state to another only after
each active clock edge.

3. Write the significance of ASM chart in the design of FSM.

It is an aid to design the complex circuits. ASM charts are used to describe complex circuits that
include one or more FSM‘s and another circuitary such as registers, counters, adders, multipliers
etc.
