Project 11: Counter and Clock Divider Revisit

A lot of interesting things can be built by combining arithmetic circuits and sequential elements. In this project, we are going to provide arithmetic circuits with timing reference by integrating arithmetic circuits with flip-flops. In the first part, we are going to use an adder with a register file (an array of flip-flops) to implement a counter that increase the number by 1 when rising edge of the clock arrives. In the second part, we are going to revisit clock divider and implement a clock divider whose frequency can be more precisely calculated compared to the clock divider that we implemented in the previous projects.
