The duty cycle of the most significant bit from a 4-bit (0–9) BCD counter is ____________(a) 20%(b) 50%(c) 10%(d) 80%This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Question is taken from Propagation Delay in Ripple Counter in section Counters of Digital Circuits

Answer»

Right choice is (a) 20%

The explanation: There are 10 states, out of which MSB is high only for (1000, 1001) 2 times. Hence duty cycle is 2/10*100 = 20%. Since the duty cycle is the RATIO of on-time to the total time.
