Based on the design approach in Exercise 1 and the answer to Exercise 2, what is the maximum counting speed (frequency) for a 4-bit ripple counter using 74HCT flip-flops? Repeat, using 74AHCT and 74LS74 flip-flops.

Exercise 1

Design a 4-bit ripple down counter using four D flip-flops and no other components.

Exercise 2

What limits the maximum counting speed of a ripple counter, if you don’t insist on being able to read the counter value at all times?
