Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with bidirectional Gray code counter design are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a bidirectional Gray code counter may include a sequential logic element to store a Gray code value and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry may be to determine, based on a bidirectional indicator signal, whether to increment or decrement the Gray code value update, through performance of an increment or a decrement of the Gray code value based on the determination of whether to increment or decrement the Gray code value, the Gray code value to be a sequential Gray code value and replace the Gray code value stored in the sequential logic element with the updated Gray code value. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
