Digital electronics and system design

Assignment
1. The contents of a 4-bit register are initially 1011. The register is shifted 6 times to the right,
with the serial input being 101111. What are the contents of the register after each shift?
2. Draw the logic diagram of a 4-bit binary ripple counter using (a) Flip-flops that trigger on the
positive edge of the clock pulse, (b) Flip-flops that trigger on the negative clock pulse.
3. Design a 4-bit binary synchronized counter with D flip-flops.
4. Design a counter with following repeated sequence 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6. Use D flip-flops.
5. Design a counter with count sequence 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Use JK flip-flops.
6. Design a counter with T flip-flops that counts 0, 3, 1, 7, 6, and 4. Show that when the binary
states 010 and 101 are taken as don’t care conditions, the counter may not operate
properly.
7. Draw and explain the circuit of a BCD ripple counter.
8. Write the decoding logic in a 4-bit Johnson counter. What is the modification to be done to
avoid lockout in 4-bit Johnson counter?
9. Reduce the following state table:-

Present state Next state Output

x=0 x=1 x=0 x=1
a F b 0 0
b D c 0 0
c F e 0 0
d G a 1 0
e D c 0 0
f F b 1 1
g G h 0 1
h G a 1 0
