Analyze the conditions for a 'Don't Care' term in K-map simplification and simplify the expression F(W,X,Y,Z)=∑m(1,3,7,11,15) with Don't Care d(W,X,Y,Z)=∑d(0,2,5).
Distinguish between synchronous and asynchronous (ripple) counters based on their clocking mechanism.
Analyze the state transition diagram for a Johnson (twisted ring) counter and explain its counting sequence for 4 flip-flops.
Define the term 'ring counter' and briefly explain how it differs from a Johnson counter.
