Abstract
An address counting circuit includes a counter configured to sequentially count from an initial address in response to a clock signal in order to output counted addresses. The address counting circuit also includes a code conversion unit that is configured to output converted addresses such that only one address bit of the converted addresses with respect to the previous converted addresses are toggled to output the converted addresses. The converted addresses output form the code conversion unit do not overlap with one another.
