Counter and comparator circuits connected

In summary, the conversation is about a person seeking help with building two types of circuits using ICs and a prototyping board. They are experiencing issues with the waveforms and are looking for guidance on how to correct it. The person also shares a link to their results for one circuit and mentions that they only did it for N=6.

Hi all, I need serious help here. I have to build two types of circuits as shown in the attached. The second one shows the circuit when the comparator's output is returned to the CLP. The IC's used here are IC 85 and IC 393 and the prototyping board used here is NI ELVIS 2. I think I have connected the pins right but the waveforms I got look so weird! I am required to get the results as in the last picture for the first circuit. In the second one, I am supposed to show that the counters are cleared. Please tell me what to do to correct this. Please do check my circuit. I have looked hard and I don't see anything missing.

Here are my results, I only did for N=6, though.

You don't seriously think anyone will be able to just look at pictures of your breadboards and figure out what the problem is, do you?

I just uploaded my result. Can you see them?
 

1. What is a counter circuit?

A counter circuit is an electronic circuit that counts the number of incoming pulses or events and displays the count in binary form.

2. What is a comparator circuit?

A comparator circuit is an electronic circuit that compares two input voltages and produces an output based on their relative magnitude. It is used to determine if one voltage is greater than, less than, or equal to another voltage.

3. How are counter and comparator circuits connected?

Counter and comparator circuits can be connected in various ways, depending on the specific application. One common way is to use the counter circuit to provide input pulses to the comparator circuit, and then use the output of the comparator to trigger a specific action or display the results.

4. What are the applications of counter and comparator circuits?

Counter and comparator circuits have a wide range of applications, including frequency measurement, digital clocks, traffic light control systems, and industrial automation. They are also used in communication systems, such as error detection and correction circuits.

5. How do counter and comparator circuits differ from each other?

While both circuits involve counting and comparing signals, they differ in their specific functions and designs. Counter circuits are used to count incoming pulses or events, while comparator circuits compare two input signals. Additionally, counter circuits typically have a clock input, while comparator circuits do not.
