Abstract
A multibit counter circuit uses a plurality of essentially identical stages which each have a feedback circuit, a flip-flop, and a carry circuit. Each of the stages is connected together in essentially the same way. A counter circuit of any desired bit capacity can be relatively quickly and easily formed with a saving in silicon area compared to standard configurations.
