DEFINITION

Classification: 377/126

Ring or reversible counter:

(under subclass 118) Subject matter where the regenerative trigger circuits are used (1) in the stages of a counter through which information is transmitted serially from input to output (one cycle) and then transferred back to the input stage where the cycle begins again or (2) in the stages of a counter which, in one mode, counts upward and, in another mode, counts downward.
