EXPERIMENT 5

The purpose of this experiment is to verify the design of an irregular binary counter presented in the textbook as Example 9-4. The final project will require designing a similar counter. This exercise will result in developing a better understanding of the concepts involved.

Example 9-4 can be found on pages 509-511 of the electronic version of the textbook. The state diagram of the counter is presented in Figure 9-30 and Table 9-10. The final implementation of the counter is shown in Figure 9-32.

Start by implementing the given design in Multisim. It has one clock input for stepping through the states and three bits of output identifying the states. You will need to connect a push button driven pulse output to the input so you may step through the states to verify the design. You will also need to connect digital probes or LEDs to the three outputs, Q0, Q1, and Q2.

The experiment will involve stepping through the states by sending pulses to the counter. Report your findings. Also attach a screenshot of the circuit, with the counter being in a valid state. (Id like to see a drawing of what the circuit would look like on multisim. Id like to know which componets to use in the circuit. any other insight.)
