ABSTRACT:
A shared counter performs multiple counting functions in an electronic circuit, such as a memory integrated circuit. An input selection circuit selects one of M input data sets at a given time to be provided as counter initialization data. A counter circuit provides counter output data based on the counter initialization data. An output circuit provides the counter output data to K destination circuits in the electronic circuit. The output circuit provides only one of the K destination circuits with the counter output data at a given time.
