Abstract
An address counter circuit comprises a first address output circuit for outputting an input address at a first timing, an additional circuit for adding a predetermined value to the input address while the address is output from the first output circuit, a counter circuit for counting up or down the address to which the predetermined value is added by the adding circuit, and a second address output circuit for sequentially outputting addresses obtained upon count-up or count-down operation of the counter circuit after the first timing.
