Simulation Lab
4 bit Ripple Counter

Name Date

Design and simulate a 4 bit ripple counter using JK flip flops. Feed the counter outputs (4 of them) into the
Multisim model for a DCD_HEX display to view the counter operation. The counter should “count” to “F”

Build the circuit and simulate in a manner of your choosing. I recommend using a 25Hz clock source so you can
observe the counting real time. You may use switches to set the inputs or pulse sources, a logic analyzer,
oscilloscope, indicator lights, meters, etc. to view the outputs.

Describe below, your simulation design and verified results. Describe the operation in terms of the JK flip flops
and the interaction of all 4 JK’s

Call me to view your simulation for proper credit

-Hand in. This lab will count as a 15 point laboratory grade
