2-bit counter

Altera_Forum · ‎12-06-2005

Hi all

I need to design a 2-bit counter which output will change from 00-01-10-11 every time another counter counts up to a X value. I prefer VHDL but Verilog is fine too.

Hi MorfiuM,

Did you consider using the lpm_counter?

Hi Scott

I checked it out but since I am a very beginner I don't know how to use the file for what I need it to do.

Thanks

Hi Mick,

Best place to get your feet wet is in the MegaWizard:

1. Double-click somewhere in you schematic file. This will open the "Symbol"

dialog window.

2. In the "Libraries" explorer pane, navigate to: quartus->megafunctions->arithmetic.

You'll see the extra path information, but it should be clear to you.

3. Double-click: lpm_counter.

4. Then just let the wizard guide you along ... flavor to your particular taste ;-)

The end result will be a counter symbol you can place in your schematic.
