Two 4-bit counters could be cascaded together to form (4 * 4 = 16) 16-bit counter.

If cascading here means to put in, ALL the outputs of the first counter into an and gate which ensures that it gives one when all the outputs are one, and give this as the first input of the second counter.

Also the counters must be edge triggered so that the first input of the second counter does not turn 1 while the first counter has all ones.

Is 'cascading' the right word here then?
