The purpose of this project was to create a circuit that could count from 0 to 80. We were also required to have a switch to pause and another one to reset the circuit to 0.

PLD-Design:
The difference between PLD mode and design mode is that once you make it on PLD mode you can upload it to a chip. The inputs and outputs on the chip are numbered and easily visible for when you wire it. For design mode you design the breadboard that you are going to use and the number of chips that will be required to complete your design.
Bill of materials
Conclusion:
- The difference between SSI and MSI circuits is that SSI circuits can only contain 10 gates while MSI circuits can have from 10 gates to 100 gates
- The limitations of the MSI chip that I made were that it could not go backwards also it was hard to modify it
- The ripple effect occurs when a asynchronous counter has to wait for the clock to go through the gate before it can which causes the counter to flicker.
- The power goes through pin 14 flipping the clock for my ones counter, once the counter for the ones place reaches nine it signals the flip-flop for the tens place to change. Once it changes the tens place it resets the ones counter back to zero.
- Almost all of my classmates have similar circuits to the one that I created. Although the reset buttons for the pld design did vary among most of my fellow students
