Designing a Modulo-16 Up/Down Counter with Grey Code State Assignment

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on designing a modulo-16 up/down counter using Grey code state assignment, where the counter increments when x=1 and decrements when x=0. It highlights the need for a terminal count detection at 15 for counting up and at 0 for counting down, resulting in a terminal count signal. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work for better assistance, noting that simply mentioning K-maps without specific details is insufficient. There is a suggestion to utilize four-variable K-maps for the design, indicating a potential misdirection in the current approach. The conversation underscores the necessity of clarity in problem-solving to facilitate effective support.

Homework Statement



design an up down modulo-16 counter. use grey code state assignment, when x=1 the counter is to count up. when x=0 the counter is to count down. when the terminal cont of 15 is detected and the unit is counting up or when the terminal count of 0 is reached and the unit is counting down,causing the terminal count (tc)'=0.

You need to show some work so we can get a sense of what you know and what you might be missing. If you expect someone here to just do your work for you, your on the wrong forum.
 
done it with using 5 variable kmap.
 
have to be done with four variable k map
 
just need a little idea after getting the jk flip flops equations using four variable kmap
 
You have not posted anything specific as to what you have done so far. Just mentioning k maps doesn't tell us anything other than that you are probably on the wrong track.
