Introduction
A Ring counter is a circular shift register.
At any time only one flip flop being set and all other flip

Operation
Basically the ring part comes from the fact that the
output can be fed back into the input form a ring.
Notice that the outputs Q and Q of each flip-flop are
connected to the next flip-flop.
The outputs of the fourth flip-flop are connected to the
first flip-flop.
