Base 10 counter

225

03:26:32

The counter is reset when it reaches 1010 binary; hex A. The NOR gate acts as an AND gate with inverted inputs. The latch* loaded on the falling edge of the clock makes sure the counter's output is stable before it is displayed. It hides the brief moment when the counter's output is 1010.

*: EveryCircuit's counter can also be a latch.

... Then I learned I could have used just one AND gate on the B and D lines. :) I'm not 100% sure about that, though.

Good stuff, and yes you could have got away with just 1 and gate.

Off topic: @eekee, you know that computer you wanted to make? Well, I tried making a very, VERY, basic computer, but still ran out of room. Someone else made a different computer that was even more basic and managed to fit it in because of its simplicity, but it’s only ALU function was AND, so I changed that to add to make it more useful and here it is: http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6294474560110592
