Question: What is the main difference between synchronous and asynchronous counters?

Options:

1. Synchronous counters count faster
2. Asynchronous counters have a delay
3. Synchronous counters are simpler
4. Asynchronous counters are more accurate

Correct Answer: Asynchronous counters have a delay

Solution:

Asynchronous counters have a propagation delay due to the ripple effect, while synchronous counters change states simultaneously.
