Multiplexer Implementation

A counter is a sequential circuit that goes through a prescribed sequence of states upon the application of

input pulses is called a counter. The input pulses, called count pulses, may be clock pulses.

In a counter, the sequence of states may follow a binary count or any other sequence of states. Counters are found in almost all equipment containing digital logic. They are used for counting the number of occurrences of an event and are useful for generating timing sequences to control operations in a digital system. Of the various sequences a counter may follow, the straight binary sequence is the simplest and most straight forward. A counter that follows the binary sequence is called a binary counter. An n$-$bit binary counter consists of n flip$-$flops and can count in binary from $0$ to $2$n$-1.$
