Abstract
A pulse counter has a programmable prescaler that divides the frequency of an input clock pulse signal by a factor designated by a code signal. A counter counts the prescaled clock pulse signal output by the programmable prescaler to generate a count output. A code generator encodes the count output to generate the code signal that controls the programmable prescaler.
