Abstract:
A robust analog counter that may include an output capacitor having a first capacitance, and a charging unit (CU) that is configured to determine that an event to be counted occurred, and charge the output capacitor at a first current and during a output capacitor charging period, wherein a duration of the output capacitor charging period is proportional to the first capacitance, thereby increasing an output voltage of the output capacitor by a voltage quote that is indifferent to at least one out of process variation, temperature or power supply voltage value.
