It is sequential Circuit which count bit in up direction and then down direction .There are two
type of operation in UP Down Counter
UP counting mode (M=0) − The Q output of the preceding FF is connected to the clock
of the next stage if up counting is to be achieved. For this mode, the mode select input
M is at logic 0 (M=0).
DOWN counting mode (M=1) − If M = 1, then the Q bar output of the preceding FF is
connected to the next FF. This will operate the counter in the counting mode.
3-bit binary up/down ripple counter.
3-bit − hence three FFs are required.
UP/DOWN − So a mode control input is essential.
For a ripple up counter, the Q output of preceding FF is connected to the clock input of
the next one.
For a ripple up counter, the Q output of preceding FF is connected to the clock input of
the next one.
For a ripple down counter, the Q bar output of preceding FF is connected to the clock
input of the next one.
Let the selection of Q and Q bar output of the preceding FF be controlled by the mode
control input M such that, If M = 0, UP counting. So connect Q to CLK. If M = 1,
DOWN counting. So connect Q bar to CLK.
