Counter

Let's count cycles!

This video will introduce you to counters. Counters are one of the fundamental building blocks for various digital circuits and are used widely to enable a bunch of different functionality. In this video we would discuss how to design a simple counter by differentiating the sequential and combinational elements of the design. Through these set of videos we would be designing three different types of counters:

  • Simple counter which increments by 1 every cycle
  • Counter which can counter either up or down depending on input
  • Self reloading counter using load valid and load value as inputs
