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.
