Abstract
A monotonic counter memory system including a counter circuit and a memory circuit is provided. The counter circuit is configured to increase a count by one in response to a clock signal and output a count value of n bits, where n is a positive integer. The memory circuit includes a plurality of memory cells. The memory circuit is configured to store the count value. The stored count value changes one bit at each input count of the clock signal, and a bit switching time of the stored count value are smaller than 2−1 times.
