Abstract

In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a pulse generator to generate an oversampled clock signal. The apparatus may also include a sample and hold unit to provide at least two differential input signals based on the oversampled clock signal. The apparatus may further include a conversion unit to generate a single-ended signal based on the at least two differential input signals. The apparatus may also include a counter to determine a count of rising and falling edges of the single-ended signal based on the oversampled clock signal.
