The range of bit count specifically in n-bit binary counter consisting of ‘n’ number of flip flops is 0 to 2n - 1

E.g.

For 1 bit

Range: 0 to 21 - 1 = 0 to 1

For 2 bits

Range: 0 to 22 - 1 = 0 to 3 (00, 01, 10, 11)

For 3 bits

Range: 0 to 23 - 1 = 0 to 7 (000, 001, 010, 011, 100,101, 110, 111)

A n-bit counter count n state from 0 to 2n - 1
