Indeed this looks like quite an interesting device. I'm not sure I
understand how it is able to approach timing resolution comparable to
that of the THS788 yet at a fraction of the power. The sample rate is
evidently quite limited. Is this just a function of the ring oscillator
duty cycle being much smaller?

Also, does anyone understand the reason behind the 12ns minimum
measurement time?

Cheers,
