    Abstract: The present invention relates to a unit counter block. According to an aspect of the present invention, the unit counter block includes a D-flipflop, a second MUX, and a first MUX. The-flipflop outputs first and second output signals in synchronism with a clock signal. The second MUX selects any one of external data and the second output signal of the D-flipflop in response to a data load signal and outputs a selected signal. The first MUX transfers any one of the first output signal of the D-flipflop and the output signal of the second MUX as an input signal of the D-flipflop in response to a counter enable signal or the data load signal.
