Counters

This is lab 11 of 18 in the course

by Enable Education

Students will explore various types of counters and will use Multisim to build, simulate, and observe circuits. Students will become familiar with the differences between synchronous and asynchronous counters and observe, theoretically and practically, that flip flops are the building blocks of counters.
