RippleCounter
A ripple counter is a type of binary counter built from a chain of flip-flops connected in series. In the common implementation, each flip-flop represents one bit, and the clock input is applied to the first flip-flop. The output of each flip-flop serves as the clock input for the next stage, so the state of one stage “ripples” through the chain as the counter progresses.
Operation typically uses toggle flip-flops (such as JK or T types). The first flip-flop toggles on every
Key characteristics include simplicity and low component count, which make ripple counters inexpensive and easy to
Applications are typically limited to low-speed frequency division, simple timing experiments, and basic sequencing tasks where
