Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed are a bidirectional counter and a method of generating output data. the bidirectional counter may include at least one first flip-flop configured to generate, based on at least one first local clock, at least one first bit including a least significant bit (lsb) of the output data and a second bit that is an upper bit of the at least one first bit, and a local clock generation circuit configured to generate, in response to an up signal that is activated, the at least one first local clock based on the input clock and the at least one first bit, and to generate, in response to the up signal that is deactivated, the at least one first local clock based on the input clock and at least one inverted first bit.
