Q. A 5-bit asynchronous binary counter is made up of five flip-flops, each with a 12 ns propagation delay. The total propagation delay (tp(total)) is

A
12 ms
B
24 ns
C
48 ns
D
60 ns
Solution:

Since a counter is constructed using flip-flops, therefore, the propagation delay in the counter occurs only due to the flip-flops. Each bit has propagation delay = 12ns. So, for 5 bits = 12ns X 5 = 60ns.
