The Modulus (or MOD-number) of a counter is the total number of unique states it passes through in one complete counting cycle with a mod-n counter being described also as a divide-by-n counter. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/counter/mod-counters.html https://www.slideshare.net/ManojGuha1/modulo-n-counter with above links - I can say we just need to count no. of states after which it comes back to original state. so in this case 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 Hence here after execution of 5 states on the next clock it again come back to 0 hence mod-5 counter. Let me know if I am wrong. 1 votes 1 votes Gate Fever commented Sep 25, 2018 reply Follow Share okay, i think u are correct, i think no. of distinct states are counted! if in future i get some counter eaxmple i'll post it. 0 votes 0 votes Swapnil Naik commented Sep 25, 2018 reply Follow Share Sure , I will be waiting :P 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
