1. Specifications

Our goal is to design an minute or seconds counter to be used in a real-time clock device. Fig. 1 represents the symbol and function table. It is for counting using BCD code from 00 up to 59.

Let us use our plan C2 to build this Counter_BCD_mod60 chaining and truncating Counter_mod16 blocks. 

CLK signal. Design a  CLK generator to implement a 12.5 kHz squared waveform from a 50 MHz crystal oscillator.
