Abstract:
The method comprises providing a time-to-digital converter with a measurement period ( 3 ) for registration of events ( 1 ), and selecting time intervals of independent durations ( 4 ), each of the durations being independent of the registration of events. At each registration of an event, the time-to-digital converter is blocked from further registration for one of the time intervals of independent duration. Thus the recorded lengths of the time intervals ( 11, 13, 14, 16 ) corresponding to the occurrence of the events within each measurement period are uniformly distributed and a time-domain bias is avoided. The time-to-digital converter circuit includes a controlled gate for blocking the time-to-digital converter.

Claim (Index 10):
The time-to-digital converter circuit of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n a logical OR member between the input stage and the gate, the logical OR member allowing input from a plurality of sources of events.
