Questions and Answers

State the key feature of synchronous counters.

Synchronous counters have all flip-flops change state simultaneously in response to the clock signal.

What is the function of the clock input in synchronous counters?

The clock input controls the timing of state changes in synchronous counters.

What is the main advantage of synchronous counters over asynchronous counters?

Synchronous counters are generally less prone to glitches and race conditions compared to asynchronous counters.

Define asynchronous counters.

<p>Asynchronous counters have flip-flops that change state independently of each other and may cause glitches or other issues.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the term 'glitches' in relation to counters.
