Digital Counter with Logic Gates

Overview

This experiment demonstrates how to create a simple digital counter using basic logic gates (AND, OR, and NOT gates).

Components Required

• 2 x NAND gates
• Clock source (can be a 555 timer)
• LEDs
• Resistors
• Breadboard and wires

Procedure

1. Use two flip-flops to build a binary counter. Connect the clock pulse to the flip-flop inputs.

2. Use NAND gates to reset the counter after reaching the desired count.

3. Connect the output to LEDs to visually display the counter.

Expected Result

The counter will increment by one on each clock pulse, with the binary output displayed using LEDs.
