    How Do You Design a JK Flip-Flop Synchronous Up/Down Counter?

    Exam question: Use J-K flip-flops to design the logic for a synchronous up/down counter that counts "up" through the sequence 1 2 6 3 5 7 f the input switch UP is 1, and "down" through the sequence 7 2 1 5 3 6 if UP is 0. Verify that the counter is self-starting. What I know so far...
