asynchronous counter Vs synchronous counter-Difference between asynchronous counter and synchronous counter

This page covers difference between asynchronous counter and synchronous counter. The other useful links to difference between various terms are provided here.


Depending upon clock pulse applied, counters are of two types asynchronous counter and synchronous counter.

asynchronous counter synchronous counter
Different flipflops are applied with different clocks All flipflops are applied with same clock
It is slower in operation It is faster in operation
fixed count sequence either up or down any count sequence is possible
produces decoding error produces no decoding error
