Chapter Test Solutions

1. Ans: (c)
Solution: Pre-settable down counter counting sequence = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
So input clock frequency will be divided by 6

2. Ans: 9
Solution: For Q3Q 2Q1Q 0 =1 0 0 1
Flip-Flops are cleared.
It counts from 0000, ... ... 1000, 0000, ....
Its modulus = 9.

3. Ans: (c)
Solution: x3=LI, x2=L+C, x1=Lx3 = L+LI=L+LI = L+I
JA=x1x2=(L+C)(L+I) = LI+LC+IC
Applying consensus Theorem
JA =LI+LC
K A=x2x3=(L+C)(LI) = (L+C)(L+I)=LI+LC+IC
Applying consensus Theorem
K A =LI+LC

4. Ans: (a)
Solution: 00  No change
10  0 to 1 transition
01  1 to 0 transition
It is a SR FF

5. Ans: (b)
Solution: It is mod - 3 Counter.
After every 3 pulses the output will go back to 00 and after 333rd clock pulse output will be
10.

8. Ans: (d)
Solution: This is the standard asynchronous MOD7 up counter. Hence the count sequence
is 000 to 110

9. Ans: (c)
Solution: Characteristic Table for the given system
Present State Input Next State
QA QB TA TB QA Q B
0 0 0 1 0 1
0 1 1 1 1 0
1 0 1 0 0 0

From the table it is clear that it counter three different numbers. It is a MOD-3 counter

10. Ans: (c)


Solution: Number of flip-flops required=4
Maximum delay=4  10nsec=40nsec

11. Ans: (c)


Solution:
Q3 Q2 Q1
0 0 0  Initial state
0 0 1 1st clock pulse
0 1 1 2nd clock pulse
1 0 1 3rd clock pulse
0 0 0 4th clock pulse
Modulus of the counter is 4, After 7 clock pulses Q 3 Q 2 Q 1 will be 101

12. Ans: (b)


Solution: Initially Q0  Q1  0 , Y0  0
J-K flip-flop is cleared Q A  0 , Q A  1
As clock pulse is applied counter starts up counting
As counter reaches Q1  1,Q0  1 after 3 clock pulses J-K flip flop is preset
QA  1 QA  0
Counter starts down counting until Y0 is low and this repeats
So output Q 1 Q 0 in decimal form is 0,1,2,3,2,1,0,1......

5
For 0<t< , V1 > V2 So, clock doesn’t reach the counter
3
5 25
For <t< V2 > V1 So, 4 clock edges (t= 2, 4 , 6 , 8) reach the counter
3 3

So, Output of counter is 100
