Abstract
A method and circuitry are provided for modularized single transition counting. A count signal is provided on a count line (436). A single transition count is modified in response to the count signal. The single transition count has a plurality of bits (418, 416) provided by at least one first module (404) and at least one second module (406). The first (404) and second (406) modules are alternately coupled in series to an input module (402) so that one (404) of the first and second modules has an input (460a, 466a) coupled to an output (420, 468) of the input module (402) and so that each additional one (406) of the first and second modules has an input (482a, 488a) coupled to an output (472a, 478a) of an associated one (404) of the second and first modules, respectively.
