A 4-bit ripple counter consists of flip-flops, which each have a propagation delay from clock to Q output of 15 ns. For the counter to recycle from 1111 to 0000, it takes a total of ________(a) 15 ns(b) 30 ns(c) 45 ns(d) 60 nsThe question was asked in examination.My enquiry is from Counter Implementation and Applications topic in chapter Counters of Digital Circuits

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (d) 60 ns

To ELABORATE: 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 = 15ns. So, 4 bits = 15ns * 4 = 60ns.
