Write short note on the Johnson counter.

Ans:

 Johnson Counter: It is a synchronous counter, where all flip-flops are clocked concurrently and the clock pulses drive the clock input of all the flip-flops together therefore there is no propagation delay. Fig.(a) demonstrates the circuit of Johnson counter. In case of the  D  input  of  FF0  is  driven  by  Q‾ output  of  FF3, that is, the complement of the output of the final flip flop is fed to the D of FF0. Feedback of this arrangement generates the sequence of states illustrated in Table no.1. The 4 bit sequence has a total of 8 states (there is n bit sequence will have 2n states). Therefore an n bit Johnson counter will have a modulus of 2n.

The Q output of all stage feeds the D input of next stage. Although the Q‾ output of the final stage feeds the D input of primary stage. The counter fills up along with 1's from left to right and after that fills up 0s again as demonstrated in Table no.2. Fig. (b) Demonstrates the wave shapes/timing diagram of 4 bit Johnson counter.
