摘要： A passive micromechanical counter for counting and storing a number of mechanical pulses includes at least one memory cell, the memory cell having a cell input, a latching mechanism and an electromechanical coding unit, the cell input being designed to mechanically transmit the mechanical pulse to the latching mechanism, and the latching mechanism being designed to store the number of mechanical pulses transmitted by means of its discrete latching position. It is provided that an electrical digital signal can be generated by applying an electrical voltage to the electromechanical coding unit, the electrical digital signal representing the discrete latching position of the latching mechanism.
