That's an interesting chip - I've not come across it before.

The TDC in it appears good, although there are limited details given
on it. 
From the data sheet, the main complication looks to be that its
hardware and software are so optimised for use as a low power flow
meter that any more general use is very restricted. It does not seem
to allow the simple time interval measurements that the Acams or
THS788 do.

Now if only they did a pure TIC version - but that might be a little
optimistic since Acam also seem to be really pushing the flow meter
side. That must be where the volume is...
