ABSTRACT:
A counter has an electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a write circuit, and a read circuit. The EEPROM, which can be rewritten at least V times, is divided into count areas M.sub.O, . . . , M.sub.N each capable of storing count values from zero to V, and a number area for storing a number K from zero to N identifying the count area currently in use. The write circuit uses the count areas M.sub.O, . . . , M.sub.N in succession to store counts as high as N.times.V. The read circuit obtains the current count value by reading K from the number area, reading the contents C of the Kth count area M.sub.K, and calculating C+(V.times.K).
