Counter is a digital circuit which is able to count from a specific number to another specific number (according to the requirement). Depending upon the counting style the counters can be divided into two.
i) UP counter- which increment one by one (eg. 0,1,,2,3,4,5............15) for a 4 bit counter
ii) Down counter- which decrements one by one (eg. 15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8................0) for a 4 bit counter.
A simple apllication of a counter is a diigital clock, having 3 counters. One for counting the seconds, another for counting the minute and the last one for counting the hour.

What do you mean by universal shift register?
Basically it is a Synchronous Counter. You can google for further information.
Can the program counter be eliminated by using the top of the stack as a program count?
No. The program counter must be stored in a dedicated register. The stack is in working memory and you cannot operate on working memory; all values must be moved into a register in order to operate upon them. It makes no sense to move a program counter in and out of memory unless performing a context switch and you can't use a stack for context switching; a priority queue must be used for this. Keep in mind that the address of the top of the stack has to be moved in and out of its register during a context switch. It doesn't make sense to load the stack register from a priority queue before you can determine where the program counter value is. It's easier to keep all state information in the same place in the priority queue where it belongs.
What are the different types of register circuits?
There are two type of register in electronics domain one is shift resister and second is register. shift register are used for shifting the data from left to right or right to left. it has four types SISO-serial in serial out SIPO- parallel out PISO-parallel in serial out PISO- parallel out. and register are simply used for storing the digital data.
Difference between program counter and instruction pointer?
There isn't any difference. Two different words forexactly same thing. Third way to call it is instruction address register.
What is the purpose of program counter?
program counter is a register that has the address of next instruction that has to be executed after currently executing instruction. it is used for proper execution of functions of computer by providing address of next instruction to microprocessor.
5 What it is the basic difference between a register and a counter?
register has the same clock. counter do not need to have the same clock.
Where can you buy a cash register on Sims 2 Deluxe?
You can, just buy a counter, go to electronics, misc then choose one of the 2 cash registers! hope this helped incase you still need it :)
Difference between a counter and a register?
A register can hold data, and it can be used for temporary storage or, in the case of an accumulator, it can participate in arithmetic or logical operations. A counter is a special case of a register. Usually, it can only be loaded, stored, or incremented, or used for the stack or as the program counter.
What are different types of registers in a basic computer?
computer has different registers each of which has different functions. ax - accumulator register bx - base register cx - counter register computer has different registers each of which has different functions. ax - accumulator register bx - base register cx - counter register
How do you register a mosque in Pakistan?
buy him at the counter
Can the program counter be one of the general purpose register?
No.
What dedicated operations are assigned to the CX register?
as a counter
What is the function of the program counter register?
The function of the program counter register is to hold the address of the instruction that is being executed and (later) to hold the address of the instruction that will be executed next.
What is a Johnson Counter?
Johnson counter is a ring counter, which is a type of counter composed of a circular shift register. Johnson counter provides many shift registers and ring counters.
How many bits are needed for the program counter and the instruction register?
24 bits are needed for the program counter. Assuming the instructions are 32 bits, then 32 bits are needed for the instruction register.
Which CPU register holds address for memory?
The program counter (PC) and the stack pointer (SP).
What does program counter contain?
Program counter is a processor register that indicates where a computer is in its program sequence. It contains the address of the memory location.
