3.2.1 Asynchronous Counters: Small-Scale Integration

What does SSI stand for in the context of Digital Logic?

Explain the ripple effect in asynchronous counters.

Which of the following best describes an asynchronous counter?

• A counter that operates in sync with a clock signal

• A counter that operates independently of a clock signal

• A counter that uses synchronous flip-flops

• A counter that uses asynchronous flip-flops.

Calculate the number of states for a system with 3 flip-flops.

Explain the function of the reset circuit in the Modulus Asynchronous Counter.
