Class 28: Answers to Assignment

Chapter 14
Exercise 4:

Hint:
3-bit counter with 000 excluded

Ans: The sequence of states Q0Q1Q2 is 111, 101, 100, 010, 001, 110, 011, and back to 111.

(000 is excluded and unfortunately does not enter into the sequence.)

Exercise S14-1:
Hint: Note that the starting output of each flip-flop is Q = 0 and Q' = 1.

Determine D1, D2, and D3 at the time of the positive edge of the clocking signal; find the resulting Qs for each flip-flop, then feed back two of the complemented outputs back into D1 with the AND gate.

Ans: see link.

Exercise S14-2:
Hint: Going clockwise around the included states from 000, followed by going clockwise around the excluded states from 1111, the truth table should be:
Q0 Q1 Q2   D0 D1 D2
0 0 0   0 1 0
0 1 0   1 0 0
1 0 0   1 1 0
1 1 0   0 0 0
1 1 1   0 0 0
0 0 1   0 1 0
0 1 1   1 0 0
1 0 1   1 1 0

Ans: see link.
