Question

Difference between synchronous and asynchronous counters

Answer 1

Answer:

Counters are of two types depending upon clock pulse applied. These counters are: Asynchronous counter, and Synchronous counter.

In Asynchronous Counter is also known as Ripple Counter, different flip flops are triggered with different clock, not simultaneously. While in Synchronous Counter, all flip flops are triggered with same clock simultaneously and Synchronous Counter is faster than asynchronous counter in operation.
