ABSTRACT:
A system for gray-code counting in an integrated circuit such as a programmable logic device uses a binary adder coupled to a binary counter output and to a selected binary offset value. The binary adder provides a binary sum that is converted to a gray code value by a binary-to-gray converter. The gray code value represents the binary sum output.
