Abstract
A counter device having a jumping function includes a counter circuit for counting clock pulses, a circuit for setting a jump starting count, a circuit for setting the number of bits to be jumped, a detecting circuit for detecting equality/unequality between a count of the counter circuit and the Jump starting count as set, and a circuit for modifying the count of the counter circuit by the number of bits to be jumped in response to equality detection by the detecting circuit. The modifying circuit varies the count in the same direction as a direction of variation of the count provided by the counter circuit. This construction realizes a counting function which jumps a desired count or counts from a selected count.
