  • Publication number: 20070280403
    Abstract: A counter that outputs a counting signal having a random counting value. The counter includes a clock generator and a counting circuit. The clock generator generates first and second clock signals with different phases based on an input clock signal. The counting circuit executes a counting operation and outputs a counting signal having a random counting value, in response to the first and second clock signals. The counter can output a counting signal having a random counting value. Accordingly, semiconductor devices to which the counter is applied can execute a variety of operations.
