Self Reloading Counter

In this video we would discuss how to design a self-reloading counter. A self reloading counter reloads from the last loaded value whenever it rolls over. The interface to load the value into the counter consists of two signals, one which tells that the counter should be loaded in this cycle and the other which gives the loaded value.

This video also discusses the generated waveforms in detail to explain the counter behaviour.

Interface Definition

load_i      => Input to indicate counter should be loaded
load_val_i  => Input load value to the counter
count_o     => Output from the counter
