Medipix3 is a single photon-counting pixel readout chip whose new front-end architecture aims to eliminate the spectral distortion produced by charge diffusion in highly segmented semiconductor detectors. The chip requires area and power-efficient reconfigurable digital counters and shift registers that can be integrated with other photon-processing analog and digital circuits within the 55 {mu}mx55 {mu}m pixel area. This work proposes a configurable-depth, programmable mode digital counter for use in Medipix3.
