Abstract
A time interval analyzer includes a signal channel that receives an input signal. A plurality of measurement circuits are defined within the signal channel in parallel with each other. Each measurement circuit is configured to receive the input signal, measure an occurrence of a first event of the input signal with respect to a predetermined time reference and to output a time signal corresponding to the measurement of the occurrence. A processor circuit is in communication with the signal channel. It is configured to receive and compare time signals from the measurement circuits to each other to determine a time interval between the first event measured by a first measurement circuit and an event measured by a second measurement circuit.
