Abstract
A rapidly resettable counting device is described, which is particularly suitable for use in signal processors and which comprises a counter (1) receiving a clock signal at an input and supplying its output signal to a first register (2) clocked by the clock signal and to a second register (3) clocked by a reset signal, and a summing stage (4) by means of which the output signal of the second clocked register (3) is subtracted from the output signal of the first clocked register (2), which stage supplies the output signal of the counting device.
