    Abstract: A Vernier delay line interpolator provides a precision level smaller than a clock period by delaying a periodic pulse signal in a delay line which has equally time-spaced taps and a total delay that is a harmonic H greater than 1 of the pulse period. The taps of the delay line are latched and decoded to derive the fraction of the pulse period that has passed. When the interpolator is combined with a coarse counter, misalignment between their outputs is prevented by having the coarse counter count both edges of the periodic pulse signal so as to provide redundant bits between the counter and the interpolator. If the redundant bits are not equal, the counter output is corrected before it is combined with the output of the interpolator.

    Abstract: A multi-range analog-to-digital converter for encoding rundown times into a single channel of pulse width encoded data which may be conveyed to a remote equipment room over a single inexpensive, low quality digital cable. An input charge pulse is divided into multiple charge pulses and rundown times of the divided charge pulses are combined and encoded into a single channel of encoded data. A digital value representation of the input charge pulse is derived from the most accurate rundown times selected from the single channel of encoded data.
