Design a two bit down counter circuit that counts from 3 to 0. It should have states 11, 10, 01, and 00. The initial state of the counter may be assumed to be 11. The counter will be in following successive states: 11, 10, 01, 00, 11, 10, 01, 00, 11,... Use J-K flip flop to design the circuit. You must design the circuit using state transition diagram and Karnaugh's maps.
