Circuit Description

The 4-bit loadable synchronous counter used for the output registers (in front of the displays) of the DCF-77 clock.

The circuit is just a cascade of four 1-bit counters, connected via their carry-outputs and the count-enable inputs. For a detailed description, see the previous applet.
