The number of unused states in a 4 bit Johnson counter is
2
4
8
12
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total state = 2n = 24 = 16

Used state = 2n = 2 x 4 = 8

Unused state = 16 - 8 = 8.

Can anyone explain that how it comes?

How to get the total Used states?

Actually, the required state for Johnson counter is 2n & for ring counter is n.
The total states are 2^n (no. of states).
Then unused states = no. of states - required states I.e. 16 - 8 = 8.

For johnson counter.

No of used states=2n; ===>2*4 = 8.
no of unused states = 2^n-2n ; ===>2^4-8 = 8.
