A counter (450) for generating a series of binary addresses, each of the addresses including a set of one or more most-significant bits. The counter includes circuitry to generate the addresses, including the set of most-significant bits (402), in a first mode and circuitry to generate the addresses (400), excluding the set of most significant bits, in a second mode. The counter is operable to transition between the first and second modes. The counter also includes circuitry to generate the addresses in the first mode in a non-binary count order in which the set of most-significant address bits is a set of least-significant bits in the count order.
