Abstract

A data generating apparatus for sequentially generating data includes a binary counter, a setting circuit, a match detecting circuit, and a selector group. The binary counter responds to a clock signal for sequentially generating data. The setting circuit sets a data preceding the data to be skipped. The match detecting circuit detects a match of the data set by the setting circuit with the data generated by the binary counter. The selector group supplies "1" to the binary counter when a match is not detected by the match detecting circuit, and "2" to the binary counter when a match is detected by the match detecting circuit. The binary counter adds "2" to the preceding data when a match is detected by the match detecting circuit to skip the desired data.
