TYPES-

There are generally two primitive types of digital counters which may later be classified into some other types-

• Synchronised or Synchronous Counters- In these types of devices, the flip- flops are triggered each time in a circuit at the same time. These work synchronically and sequentially and require the usage of flip- flops more frequently and prominently.
• Asynchronized or Asynchronous Counters- In these types of counters, the flip- flops are not used frequently and these do not work sequentially. They are also known as ripple counters

USES AND APPLICATIONS-

• They are used in large auditoriums, cinema halls and other reserved seated places where only a fixed number of people are allowed to enter at a time.
• Also used in malls nowadays to ensure safety of people.
• Digital Counter is also used in public places or many private sector shops, malls, companies, etc. to keep a track of people entering that place each day to calculate their prominence, popularity and sales.
• They are also used in digital clocks.
• As they are digitally functioned, they also convert the analog units to digital units.
