ABSTRACT:
Integrated circuit counting apparatuses are described. More particularly, a hybrid counter (203) including an asynchronous counter (310) front end and a synchronous counter (311) back end is described. The asynchronous counter (310) including at least one asynchronous counter stage (341, 342, 343) having an asynchronous level-mode state machine (381, 382). The asynchronous level-mode state machine formed of Differential Cascode Voltage Switch Logic.
