COUNTER Circuit
• Synchronous counter with different control input:
• A circuit with n flip-flops has 2n binary states. There are occasions when a sequential
circuit uses fewer than this maximum possible number of states.
• States that are not used in specifying the sequential circuit are not listed in the state
table.
• In simplifying the input equations, the unused states may be treated as don’t-care
conditions or may be assigned specific next states
