  • Circuit for measuring elapsed time between two events
    Patent number: 5121012
    Abstract: A time-to-digital converter for converting a time interval into a digital signal output includes an input section for receiving signals corresponding to the start and stop of the time interval and outputting first and second electrical pulses corresponding in time thereto, a time scaling circuit for receiving the two pulses and producing a voltage pulse whose width is a scaled version of the time interval, an output voltage generator for receiving the voltage pulse and producing a voltage signal corresponding in amplitude to the width of the pulse, a buffer and reset circuit for buffering the voltage signal outputted by the output voltage generator and for resetting the buffering means after the voltage signal is passed through, and an analog to digital converter for converting the voltage signal into a digital signal.
