Abstract

See full text

A circuit and method for distributing events in an event stream. A circuit for distributing events in a signal into a plurality of channels of circuitry capable of timestamping events is described. The circuit includes a first plurality of flip-flops arranged in a cascading configuration. The cascading configuration distributes a primary event stream into a first plurality of secondary event streams on each successive rising edge of the primary event stream. The circuit also includes a second plurality of flip-flops arranged in another cascading configuration for distributing the primary event stream. The primary event stream is distributed into a second plurality of secondary event streams on each successive falling edge of said primary event stream.
