Design of counter registers
Ferdynand Wagner · IEE Journal on Computers and Digital Techniques · 1979
The paper describes a method of designing counter registers. Two important features of the method are that it produces a minimal design and that it is guaranteed to avoid jamming. The method may be applied to the synthesis of any counter registers used, for example, as binary-sequence generators, word generators, counters, pseudorandom binary-sequence generators etc. The paper contains examples which demonstrate the design procedure, and gives some results relating to minimal counter registers.
