Abstract

A counter stage generally comprises a flip-flop and a reset circuit. The flip-flop may be configured to toggle a flip-flop signal between a first and a second state in response to a count signal applied to a clock input to effect a counting operation. The reset circuit may be configured to reset the counter stage to a predetermined state without changing the state of the flip-flop signal.
