MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop

 Here you will see how to design a MOD-4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop step by step.


MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D 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 4. i.e., M = 4

Therefore, 4 ≤ 2

=> N = 2


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

Excitation table of D flip-flop is:

QN

QN+1

D

0

0

Step 3: Write the circuit state table by using excitation table

Circuit state table for designing MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop would be

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:  DA & D

K Map for DA :

MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop

Therefore,  DA = QA XOR Q



K Map for DB :

MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop

Therefore, DB = QB


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

Circuit for MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop would be

In this way "MOD 4 Synchronous Counter using D Flip-flop" can be designed.
