  1. A shift counter comprising five flip-flops with an inverse feedback from the output of the MSB flip-flop to the input of the LSB flip-flops is a—

    The required shift counter is called Johnson counter or twisted ring counter, since an inverse feedback from the output of the MSB flip-flop to the input of the LSB flip-flop is applied. Because counter comprising 5 flip-flops it means no number of stages will be 2n
    i.e., 2 × 5 = 10
    Therefore, the given counter is divide by 10 counter.

    Since if will work in down mode. Therefore, output after first clock pulse will be 1111.

    Correct Option: C

    Since if will work in down mode. Therefore, output after first clock pulse will be 1111.
