Probably, because it is convenient -- the circuit can be simpler. A
nine-bit counter can control everything:
* The ninth-bit can control the discharge transistors directly; and, it can
reset the comparators.
* The lower eight bits can be the up-counter -- each voltage comparator can
latch the current value of those bits into its POT output-register when its
capacitor rises to the trigger voltage.
