The circuit in Figure 1 is that of a 4-bit asynchronous counter, also known as a `ripple counter`. It consists of 4 J-K flip-flops whose J and K inputs are tied to logic `1`. This connection causes the output of each J-K flip-flop to toggle every time it gets a clock pulse. By using the output of the previous flip-flop to clock the next flip-flop,

a `rippling` effect is achieved causing the flip-flops to count in binary fashion. The circuit in Figure 2 is that of a 4-bit synchronous counter. It consists of 4 J-K flip-flops, all of which are clocked at the same time, hence the name `synchronous counter`. Thus, the toggling of the output of the flip-flops in this counter depends on the states of their J and K inputs. Recall that the J-K flip-flop`s output will only toggle when both J and K are `high`. The first flip-flop (lease-significant bit) of a synchronous counter has its J and K inputs directly tied to logic `1`. This causes its output to toggle automatically every time it gets a clock pulse. The second flip-flop`s J and K inputs are directly tied to the output of the first flip-flop. Thus, even if they get clocked at the same time, the second flip-flop will only toggle half the times as the first one. The subsequent flip-flops` J and K inputs are tied to an AND gate whose inputs are tied to the outputs of the last two flip-flops before it. This ensures that each of these flip-flops will toggle at half the rate as the flip-flop before it, even if they are all clocked at the same time.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
