Question 3 (1 point)

The difference between a three-stage up counter and a down counter is the fact that:

Question 3 options:

An up counter's count decreases by one with each input clock pulse, whereas a down counter's count increases by one with each input clock pulse.

An up counter's count increases by one with each input clock pulse, whereas a down counter's count decreases by one with each input clock pulse.

An up counter currently in state 000 would change to 001 on the next state transition, whereas a down counter currently in state 000 would change to 111 on the next state transition.

resulting counter? [ denotes the ceiling function ]

To help answer this question, you may wish to review Powers, Logs and Ceiling Function.

Question 5 options:

K=log2(M)

K=log2(M)

K=log2(M+1)

K=log2(M+1)

K=log2(M1)

K=log2(M-1)

K=2M1

K=2M

A)

100 kHz

B)

20 kHz

C)

15 kHz

D)

10 kHz

E)

5 kHz

F)

1 kHz

Explanation / Answer

Question 1: D (10 KHZ)

The output frequency = input frequency / (2 ^ N)

N = number of flip-flops

So here N = 3

output frequency = input frequency / (2 ^ 3)

output frequency = 80 KHZ / 8 =10KHZ

Question 2 : E (5 KHZ)

simillary above Here N = 12

output frequency = input frequency / (2 ^ 12)

output frequency = 20.48 MHZ / 4096  

output frequency = 20480000/ 4096 = 5000 = 5KHZ

Question 3 :    Both B and C

An up counter's count increases by one with each input clock pulse, whereas a down counter's count decreases by one with each input clock pulse. It is increments 0 ->1 -> 2 ->3->4->5->6->7->0

An up counter currently in state 000 would change to 001 on the next state transition, whereas a down counter currently in state 000 would change to 111 on the next state transition. It decrements

0->7->6->5->4->3->2->1 ->0

Question 4 : 12

because 2^12 >= 4000 = 4096>= 4000

Question 5 : K=log2(M+1)

if Count =8 the maximum number of bits log2(9) = 3

so 000 -> 111
