Below is a 4-bit up-counter. What is the largest number of the counterIf the initial state Q3Q2Q1Q0 = 0011?(D3 and Q3 are MSB, and when load is enabled, D3D2D1D0 is loaded)
1111
0011
1100
0110
| A. | 1111 | |
| B. | 0011 | |
| C. | 1100 | |
| D. | 0110 |
Solution
when Q3 and Q2 both are 1 then the counter will load to the value 1100..
the counter start with 1100 and counts as follows
1100
1101
1110
1111
when 1111 occurs again Q3 and Q2 both are 1.hence the counter will again load with 1100
hence the maximum counte value is A)1111
