Digital logic questions -- Designing counters with flip-flops

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a counter using JK flip-flops that counts in specific sequences: 0-2-4-5 and back to 0 when the input is 1, and 0-5-4-2 and back to 0 when the input is 0. Participants emphasize the importance of utilizing state tables and state diagrams to effectively implement the design. The counter's output will be displayed on a 7-segment display, and users are encouraged to share their designs and diagrams for feedback. The conversation highlights the necessity of demonstrating a best effort before seeking assistance, in accordance with forum rules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of JK flip-flops and their operation
  • Familiarity with state tables and state diagrams
  • Knowledge of sequential circuit design principles
  • Experience with 7-segment display interfacing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create state tables for JK flip-flop counters
  • Learn about designing state diagrams for sequential logic circuits
  • Explore the implementation of 7-segment displays in digital circuits
  • Study techniques for skipping counts in digital counters
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in digital logic design, electronics engineers, and hobbyists interested in designing counters with flip-flops and implementing them in practical applications.

Homework Statement
First question :

Using JK flip flops, design a counter that counts 0-2-4-5 and back to zero if the input is 1. And it will count 0-5-4-2 and back to 0 if the input is 0. The count will be displayed on 7 segment display.


second question :

Design a sequential circuit with two T flip-flops A and B, and one input x . When x = 0, the state of the circuit remains the same. When x = 1, the circuit goes through the state transitions from 00 to 01, to 11, to 10, back to 00, and repeats.
Relevant Equations
those questions are realted to digial logic design (exactly chapter 5 )
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. For the JK flip-flop counter: I’ve looked into how to design counters using JK flip-flops, but I’m not sure how to implement the specified counting sequence (0-2-4-5 and back, depending on the input).
  2. For the sequential circuit with T flip-flops: I understand the state transitions but am struggling to connect them to the flip-flop design.

I’ve looked into how to design counters using JK flip-flops
So post a design and ask a relevant question (like: what do I have to do to skip over a count of 1?).

PF rules require you post a best effort before we are allowed to help.

PS "Chapter 5" of what ?

You should say what you have learned so far about how to use State Tables and State Diagrams to design sequential logic. If you draw such diagrams and tables, you can use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window to attach your diagrams.
