Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for generating a delay time using a counter are disclosed. In particular, the methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture determine a number of loops value associated with the delay time and at least one characteristic value associated with a counter. A remaining count value is then determined based on the number of loops value. The delay time is generated with the counter based on the number of loops value and the remaining count value.
