1.2 Experiment
1. Show your design to your tutor before you start.
2. Test the flip-flops of 74LS76 using either manual clock or the Function Generator and CRO.
3. Wire the circuit. Use manual clock (circuit of Fig. 1) and the LEDs (circuit of Fig. 2 with
value of R chosen such that LED current = 20 mA) to verify that your counter follows the
specified sequence. Set the unused states as well and ensure that the next states obtained are as
specified.
4. Use TTL clock from the FG as the clock instead of the manual clock. Observe and sketch the
QC, QB, and QA outputs with respect to the clock.
5. Increase the frequency of the TTL clock to several megahertz (say 5 MHz). Measure the
propagation delay of the flip-flop.
2.2 Experiment
1. Test the circuit using manual clock and verify that it is working as per design.
2. Use TTL clock from the FG instead of the manual clock. Observe and sketch the QC, QB, and
QA outputs with respect to the clock.
3. Using the FG measure the delay between the QC, QB, and QA outputs.
