Question

How many flip-flop values are complemented in an 8-bit binary ripple counter to reach the next count value after: 0110111 and 01010110?

Answer 1

Answer:

- Four (4) flip-flop values will complemented

- one (1) flip-flop value will complemented

Explanation:

To find how many flip flop number of bits complemented, we just need to figure out what the next count in the sequence is and find how many bits have changed.

taking a look at the a) 00110111

we need to just 1 to the value,

so

00110111 +  0000001  = 00111000        

So here, only the first four bits are complemented.

Therefore Four (4) flip-flop values will complemented

Next

b) 01010110

we also add 1 to the value

01010110  + 00000001  = 01010111

only the first bit is complemented.

Therefore one (1) flip-flop value will complemented
