Oops, I wasn't paying attention when I looked at the GP30 info - like Maxim, Acam has gone down the 'more integration' route and buried the actual TDC under a heap of other stuff, which does rather limit its usefulness. (data sheets have appeared for it now) Oh well, nice idea while it lasted.

Hi, I've not seen any mention of anything other than the TDC1000. I was a bit surprised that they went down the less-integrated route and separated the TDC, but it turns out that for a lot of the sort of things they designed it for, a uC provides good enough timing itself, and no extra TDC is
