Abstract

See full text

Apparatuses and methods for low power counting circuits are described herein. An example apparatus may include a frequency divider configured to receive an input clock signal and adjust a frequency of the clock signal to provide an intermediate clock signal. The apparatus may further include a counter coupled to the frequency divider and configured to receive the intermediate clock signal. The counter may further be configured to provide a plurality of timing signals based on the intermediate clock signal. The apparatus may further include a frequency multiplier including a plurality of logic gates. Each of the plurality of logic gates may be coupled to the counter and configured to receive a respective first timing signal of the plurality of timing signals and at least one of the intermediate clock signal or a respective second timing signal of the plurality of timing signals.
