Digital counters are the workhorses of digital logic, keeping track of events or processes through a series of digital flip-flops. Unlike their analogue counterparts that use a continuous signal, digital counters operate in the binary world, incrementing or decrementing a count value based on electrical pulses. These pulses, often from a clock signal, dictate the counting sequence. Each flip-flop in the counter represents a single bit (0 or 1) and their combined output displays the current count. Digital counters find applications in various fields, from simple button presses in everyday devices to complex control systems managing industrial processes, all thanks to their reliable and precise digital counting capabilities.
