A cascaded arrangement of flip-flops, where the output of one flip flop drives the clock input of the following flip flop is known as Correct Answer ripple counter

Explanation:

Ripple Counter

A ripple counter is an asynchronous counter where only the first flip flop is clocked by an external clock.

Remaining flip-flops are triggered by the output of the preceding flip flop.

Note:

Synchronous counter:

In the synchronous counter, all the flip flops are triggered by some clock pulse

Ring counter:

It is a type of synchronous counter where it counts in a particular manner.

It is of two types:

Ordinary Ring counter:

Johnson counter:

Up counter: Up counter means the counter is counting in up sequence. For Example: If 0 is the initial state, then, on further clock pulse it will count 1, 2, 3, 4, …..

Up counter may be synchronous or asynchronous (ripple) depending on the style of clock pulse given to the flip flops.
