Title: Improvements in or relating to time measuring circuits
Inventor: RIDDLE CECIL
IPC: G04F10/00
Filed: 1964-05-13
Abstract: 1,078,281. Measuring short time intervals. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. May 12, 1965 [May 13, 1964], No.19976/64. Heading G1U. A time measuring circuit for determining the time between a reference input and a signal input and also for showing whether the signal appears before or after the reference includes a first bi-stable trigger circuit T4 connected to the reference input X, a second bi-stable trigger circuit T1 connected to the signal input Y and positive and negative ramp signal generators G2 and G1 respectively connected to the outputs of the trigger circuits. A first monostable flip-flop circuit T2D1 is connected to the reference input A and a second such circuit T3D2 is connected to the signal input Y. The outputs from these monostable flip-flop circuits are connected to the second and first trigger circuits respectively in such a way that whenever a monostable flipflop is ON the trigger circuit to which it is connected is prevented from supplying a signal to its appropriate ramp signal generator. Thus in operation if the signal Y occurs before a reference signal X, the trigger T1 will be energized to cause a negative ramp signal to be generated at G1. When the reference signal occurs, the monostable flip-flop consisting of the trigger T2 and the feedback connected delay D1 is switch ON to inhibit the trigger T1 so that the ramp voltage stops increasing. The negative voltage appearing at the output of the adder A thus indicates the time between the signal and reference inputs. The monostable flip-flop T3D2 inhibits the trigger T4 all the time so that the generator G2 is not energized. If the reference pulse occurs in advance of the signal, it will be the positive ramp generator G2 which is energized so that a positive voltage corresponding to the required time Interval is delivered at the output of the adder A. Further monostable circuits T5D3 and T6D4 whose pulse width is greater than any time interval to be measured are connected so as to apply pulses, when they return to their initial states, to the ramp generator to restore these to zero. An alternative embodiment is described which enables this latter pair of monostable flip-flops to be eliminated, by using the inverted outputs from the first pair Fig. 2 (not shown).
