Abstract
A counting device, including multiple counting circuit stages and a first logic operation circuit, is provided. The counting circuit stages are serially coupled in sequence. A first counting circuit stage performs a counting action according to a first clock signal and generates a first counting result. Second to Nth counting circuit stages perform counting actions according to a second clock signal, where N is a positive integer greater than 2. The first logic operation circuit provides the first counting result to be the second clock signal according to an indication signal.
Claims10
A counting device, comprising:
- a plurality of counting circuit stages, serially coupled in sequence, wherein a first counting circuit stage performs a counting action according to a first clock signal and generates a first counting result, and a second counting circuit stage to an Nth counting circuit stage perform counting actions according to a second clock signal, where N is a positive integer greater than 2;
- and
- a first logic operation circuit, coupled to the counting circuit stages and providing the first counting result to be the second clock signal according to an indication signal.
