    A Binary Decade Counter is a digital circuit that counts from 0 to 9 in binary form before resetting back to 0. It is also called a mod-10 counter because it has ten states (0000 to 1001). After reaching 1001 (which represents 9 in decimal), the counter resets to 0000 and starts counting again.
