Synchronous counters eliminate the delay problems encountered with asynchronous (ripple) counters because the:
|
A. |
input clock pulses are applied only to the first and last stages |
B.
|
input clock pulses are applied only to the last stage |
C.
|
input clock pulses are not used to activate any of the counter stages
|
D.

input clock pulses are applied simultaneously to each stage
|
|
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
|
5. |
One of the major drawbacks to the use of asynchronous counters is that:
|
A. |
low-frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delays |
B.
|
high-frequency applications are limited because of internal propagation delays |
C.
|
Asynchronous counters do not have major drawbacks and are suitable for use in high- and low-frequency counting applications
|
D.
|
Asynchronous counters do not have propagation delays, which limits their use in high-frequency applications
