Lab 14 2022 2

The document discusses building 4-bit up/down counters using D and JK flip flops. It provides goals, exercises and requirements for building asynchronous and synchronous counters on a breadboard using given ICs, displays and resistors. The counters are to count from 0000 to 1111 and the values displayed on a 7-segment display. Components and equipment used are also listed.

segment display, and resistors to assemble the following counters on the breadboard.
Note: the counter value is displayed on a 7-segment display.
o A 4-bit synchronous up counter, counting from 0000 to 1111.
o A 4-bit synchronous down counter, counting from 1111 to 0000.
• Supply 5V/GND power to the circuit.
• Define the circuit’s activities and explain its operation.
