Answer» CORRECT choice is (c) The FEEDBACK is reversed Best EXPLANATION: A ring counter is a shift register (a CASCADE connection of flip-flops) with the output of the last ONE connected to the input of the first, that is, in a ring. Whereas, a Johnson counter (or switchtail ring counter, twisted-ring counter, walking-ring counter, or Moebius counter) is a modified ring counter, where the output from the last stage is inverted and fed back as input to the first stage. |
