Here, The minimum no of flip flops required for MOD 32 counter is 5.

But with 6 flip flop, we can also count 32 states. So I think n>=5. With 6 flip flop, we can represent 2^6 states, but if in this by some combinational circuits we can make it MOD 32 counter.

Yes, 2^n = 32 from where we get the answer is 5 is a generalized way of getting no of flip-flops and remember id mod is in between means not multiple of 2.

So we just higher 2 multiple for example 14 then we take 4 flipflops as we take count as 16.

N = 2^n, for binary counter.

Taking log where N = No. of state.

N = No. of flip flop.

N is equal to logarithm of N to the base 2.

Hence n = 3.32 logN to the base of 10.

N = 3.32*1.5051 = 4.997.

Thus n = 5 flip flop.

In binary counter N = 2^n.
Where N = number of stats and n = number of flip-flop,
So 32 = 2^5,
i.e. 5 flip flops are required for mod-32 counter.

We can count up to 31 in mod 32 so 5 bits are enough to count, because if all 5 bits are 1's its equals to 31. i.e 11111 = 31.

MOD 32 means that counter can justify 32 states.

Now, these 32 states can be represented using 5 bits (2^n = 32 => n = 5).

N=32
=> 2^(n-1)<=N<=2^n
if n=5......it satisfy the condition.
=>2^4<=N<=2^5
so.....n=5 i.e. 5 flip flops.

The formula is 2^p where p is the no of flip flops are used here we have to find the no of flip flops so 2^5 =32.

GIVEN MOD = 32.

We know for the no of clk pulses = 2^n.

where n = no clk pulses.

2^n = 32.

2^n = 2^5.

n = 5.

Simply it is:

2^5=32

That is required only 5 flip flop.

If there is mod-30 then also it requires 5 flip flop.
