Design a 4-bit counter in VHDL that counts down from 15 to 0 and then resets. What changes would you make to the process?
💡 Hint: Adjust the operation to ensure it reflects counting down.
Consider a situation where you need to count events happening more rapidly than your clock can process. How might you enhance the counter design?
💡 Hint: Think about techniques for increasing your counting frequency without changing the clock.
