How exactly does activating CLEAR cause an asynchronous modulus 12 counter to reset?
I'm confused about how Clear manages to reset the counter. The trigger is falling edge.
Starting from where the counter is in the image (I'll refer to each JK flip-flop as F1 etc.):
At first, we have ...

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.
