An apparatus may include an address counter (18A-18E) to provide first address information and second address information. The first address information may include a first number of bits and the second address information may include a second number of bits that is smaller than the first number of bits. The address counter (18A-18E) may perform a first updating operation. The first updating operation being such that the first address information is updated from a first initial value to a first final value. The address counter (18A-18E) may also perform a second updating operation, the second updating operation being such that the second address information is updated from a second initial value to a second final value. In addition, the address counter (18A-18E) may also perform the second updating operation at least twice per the first updating operation being performed once.
