AI Thread Summary
To design a 16-state counter using 5 JK flip-flops (FF), it's clarified that 4 JK FFs can only count up to 15, necessitating the use of 5 for full 16-state functionality. The discussion includes a query about implementing the counter with a 74LS194 shift register and a 27C256 EEPROM, emphasizing that shifting from the register is not allowed. Participants seek clarification on the "do nothing" option of the 74LS194, which allows the counter to maintain its current state without shifting. Understanding the operation of the shift register is crucial for correctly implementing the desired counting sequence. The conversation highlights the technical challenges and requirements for creating a specific counting sequence using digital components.

"Design a counter using jk ff that is a 16 state device which counts (sequences) in the following sequence: 0 2 4 6 A C E 3 7 F 0"

for 16 states, u would need 5 jk ff since 4 jk only go up to 15 right?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
4 JK's have 16 states--0 to 15
 
ops. Thanks for clearing it up.
 
How can I make this counter with a 74LS194 shift register and a programmed 27C256 EEPROM with the count sequences? The assigment said no shifting from the shift register.
 
For the 194, how does the "do nothing" option work? There are left shift, right shift then do nothing.
 
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
