Abstract
A code generator includes an asynchronous counter that includes first to m-th flip-flops configured to asynchronously output first to m-th output signals in response to a first clock signal, the first to m-th output signals corresponding to first to m-th bits (m being an integer of 2 or more) of a code, respectively, and a synchronous counter that includes (m+1)-th to (m+n)-th flip-flops configured to synchronously output (m+1)-th to (m+n)-th output signals in response to the first clock signal, the (m+1)-th to (m+n)-th output signals corresponding to (m+1)-th to (m+n)-th bits (n being an integer of 2 or more) of the code. The asynchronous counter further includes first to m-th delay circuits configured to respectively delay the first to m-th output signals such that the first to m-th bits of the code are output together at the same time when the (m+1)-th to (m+n)-th bits are output.
