Abstract
There is disclosed a loop counter reload circuit loads an initial count value into a counter and a shadow register. A count value output from the counter is changed by a predetermined displacement resulting in a changed count value. The count value from the shadow register is loaded into the counter if the changed count value has reached a predetermined reference value, and otherwise the changed count value is loaded into the counter.
