Some Properties of Binary Counters with Feedback
Robert C. Brigham · IEEE Transactions on Electronic Computers · 1961
Properties of binary counters which have feedback connections are discussed. Various methods of determining the cyclic period have been reported, as well as techniques for synthesizing feedback connections to obtain a specific period. This paper presents a somewhat different approach to the period determination. It also includes a discussion of a simple method for determining the numerical values eliminated from the normal counting sequence by feedback connections. Several illustrative examples are given.
