[time-nuts] Alternative time interval interpolation technique

Scroll to the bottom of the first list, or search for 'LC tanks'

Don't know why Bruce's link doesn't work, but I get 404 - file not found.

A method that measures the phase of a damped LC circuit oscillatory
transient 
triggered by the event to be timestamped:

A dual of the circuit is readily devised using a CMOS gate plus an open
drain 
(or equivalent) gate output for damping/quenching.
However the ADC employed needs to be able to capture a sample burst at a 
relatively high sample rate.
