+General Details:
+----------------
+This is the first release of the TDC in FPGA.
+The first channel (ch0) of the TDC is design as the reference channel.
+The control-status registers map and the data format of the tdc can be found
+in the documentation folder.
+
+
+Version Details:
+----------------
+
+v0.0 10.03.2012
+- 8 channels are implemented.
+- 2 transition wave union laucher is used for precise time measurements.
+- Single edge (rising edge) is detected.
+- ROM based encoder handles the conversion from thermometer code to binary
+code.
+- The register array (after the delay line) is designed as double
+synchroniser.
+
+
+Known Issues:
+-------------
+
+v0.0 10.03.2012
+- The ROM table of the encoder has to be filled for bubble errors worse than 2
+bits. There are empty bins.
+- The double synchroniser should be removed.
