4-Bit Asynchronous Counter
1. Prelab: Use Figure 1, design the 4-bit asynchronous counter. Sketch it out on paper and then design the counter in MultiSim. Build the circuit from the MultiSim design. Use the Pulser Switches to act as the clock input. Draw the output of the four LEDs for the first 11 clock pulses in Figure 2.

Asynchronous Down Counter
1. Describe how this counter can be converted to count down? Do not tear down the up counter. Make the changes to the MultiSim design which would make the circuit a down counter. Modify the circuit to become a down counter. Draw the output of the four LEDs for the first 11 clock pulses in Figure 3.
