Abstract
To permit external programming of the decoding of outputs from a binary counter, a polarized power supply is connected, selectively, through a plurality of control gates to the counter, the control gates having transfer switch characteristics and, in dependence on their connection to the specific polarity of the power supply, provide decoded outputs representative of specific count states of the counter to enable further AND-function gates in accordance with the decoded outputs and thereby permit selection of selected loads if other inputs to the AND-function gates are also enabled.
