What is wrong with my ripple BCD down counter circuit?
I want to implement a BCD ripple down-counter in Proteus.
The following is my circuit. The logic is simple. When the "original" 4-bit binary ripple counter reaches 1111 (15), the 2nd and 3rd ...

Why does a 4-bit asynchronous counter need exactly 4 flip-flops?
We can get the same result (counting from 0000 to 1111) by removing the last flip-flop (Q3 output) and taking clock line as one of the inputs (i.e Q0 will be from clk itself and rest 3 outputs from 3 ...

Why is the 14-stage SN74HC4020/CD74HC4020 binary counter missing 2 output pins, leaving 2 bits inaccessible?
I purchased a few SN74HC4020 ICs, which is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter. The SN74HC4020 datasheet shows output pins for bit 1 (pin QA) and bits 4-14 (pins QD-QN). So in other words the ...

Why do we reset/clear at 1010 (10) when designing a BCD Ripple Counter
Shouldn't we reset at 9, I believe that a decade counter goes as follows '0->1->2->3...->8->9->0" or at least that's how its done for synchronous BCD counters.
