Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable measurement of a pulse width only by a digital circuit by a method wherein outputs of delay means in the number of (n) which delay an input pulse by a prescribed amount respectively are held in an output state at the time of a fall of the input pulse and the pulse width is measured from the output state held. CONSTITUTION:Gate 100 to 150 are provided as delay means in the number of (n) which delay an input pulse 10 by a prescribed amount sequentially. The gate 100 is used as an input gate of the pulse 10 and gate output signals 20 to 80 from the gates are outputted as input signals D0 to Dn-1 to a holding means 160 respectively. For instance, a waveform having the same form as the input pulse and according with the amount of delay of each gate is outputted to each of the gate outputs 20 to 50 of the gates 100 to 130. By holding these outputs at the fall of the input pulse 10, a signal according with a pulse width is held in the holding means 160. The pulse width can be detected by checking the number of '1' being successive from the Q0 is toward the Qn-1 side of the outputs Q0 to Qn-1 of the holding means 160.
