MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop

This post is about how to design a MOD 10 Synchronous Counter or Decade Counter using T Flip-flop step by step.


MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop


Step 1: Find the number of Flip-flops needed

The number of Flip-flops  required can be determined by using the following equation:

M ≤ 2

where, M is the MOD number and N is the number of required flip-flops.

Here, MOD number is equal to 10. i.e., M = 10

Therefore, 10 ≤ 2

=> N = 4

Therefore, to design a MOD 10 or Decade Counter, 4 flip-flops will be required.


Step 2: Write the excitation table of the flip-flop

Excitation table of T flip-flop is:

QN

QN+1

Step 4: Prepare K Map for each flip-flop input in terms of flip-flop outputs as the input variables

In this case inputs of the flip-flops are:  TA, TB, TC & TD

K Map for TA :

MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop


Therefore,  TA = QAQD + QBQCQD



K Map for TB  : 
MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop


Therefore, TB =  QCQD



K Map for  TC:

MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop


Therefore, TC =  QA/QD


K Map for  TD :

MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop

Therefore, TD  = 1


Step 5: Draw the circuit using flip-flops and other gates correspond to the minimized expressions

Circuit for MOD 10 or Decade Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop:

MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flop





In this way "MOD 10 Synchronous Counter using T Flip-flopcan be designed.
