A 4 bit modulo-16 ripple counter uses JK flip-flops. If the propagation delay of each flip-flop is 50 nsec, the maximum clock frequency that can be used is equal to __________(a) 20 MHz(b) 10 MHz(c) 5 MHz(d) 4 MHzThe question was asked in examination.My question is based upon Counter Implementation and Applications topic in portion Counters of Digital Circuits

Answer»

Correct choice is (C) 5 MHz

The best explanation: Since a counter is constructed using flip-flops, THEREFORE, the propagation delay in the counter occurs only due to the flip-flops. Each bit has propagation delay = 50NS. So, 4 bits or FFs = 50ns * 4 = 200ns. Clock FREQUENCY = 1/200ns = 5 MHz.
