Designing a 2 bit digital updown counter using D flip flops

[alicia]

i want to design a 2 bit digital updown counter using D flip flops.
this problem is about designing a volume control which can detect whether it is increasing volume or decreasing volume.

up down counter

Please rephrase the question, a bit confusing. You want to make a counter or a digital volume control?

Something like this?

Re: up down counter

i want to design 2 bit digital updown counter using D flip flops first .

plusminus, yes it is something like that.

Re: up down counter

So you're helped or do you need more information?

Make a good debounce circuit (RC network and / or schmitt trigger) from your encoder to the flipflops.

Re: up down counter

you helped me a little bit...
but how to use AND gate and OR gate in the circuit?
and if i not mistaken 2 D flip flops are needed..
can you help me...

Re: up down counter

You need only one D-FF to detect the direction. You can use for example an CD4013 wired as a D-FF. (as in the drawing)
With one of the encoder pulses as a clock and a direction (from the FF) you can make a circuit to count up/down. If you want to control volume use a controller, connect the controller to a digital volume regulator (for example a digital potentiometer with SPI bus) and write some code.

You can offcourse make the FF with logic components like ORs and ANDs.
And also the volume regulator can be made with discrete components.

Can you make more clear what you want to build?
