CPUs make use of _________ counters,in which all of the flip-flops of the counter change at the same time.
A)synchronous
B)asynchronous
C)clocked S-R
D)timed ripple

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asynchronous counters are not suitable for CPUs as they rely on the propagation delay of the signals through the gates, resulting in different flip-flops changing at slightly different times. Clocked S-R counters and timed ripple counters also suffer from timing issues that can cause errors. Synchronous counters, on the other hand, use a common clock signal to ensure that all of the flip-flops change simultaneously, making them the best choice for CPUs. Therefore, the answer is A) synchronous.
