Abstract
A timer circuit receives a multi-bit digital signal representative of a timing code to be incremented. In dependence upon the coded value of the received signal, the code represented by the signal will be incremented at a selected clock rate. The clock rate selected may be chosen to decrease in frequency in a stepwise manner as the code is incremented. As the timing interval increases, the percent resolution of the timing code is maintained substantially constant.
