ABSTRACT:
A method for implementing a counter in memory, e.g., non-volatile memory such as flash memory. A first number of first binary values indicating a first portion of a current number of the counter in a binary field may be stored in a portion of memory. Storing the first number may also include increasing the number of first binary values in the binary field. Additionally, a second number indicating a second portion of the current number of the counter may be stored in another portion of memory. The second number may specify the number of times the first binary values has comprised the entirety of the binary field. Thus, the first number and second number may specify the current number of the counter. Storing the first and second number may be performed a plurality of times to implement a counting function of the counter.
