You think of something that has a Voltage input and two outputs that send
triggers for counting up respectively down? What about the following
suggestion:

- First sample and hold the incoming voltage with a clock. 
- Then compare the output signal of the S&H stage with the 
  original Voltage.
- If the difference is larger than a certain threshold, this 
  initiates a trigger, that is clocked again by the clock, that 
  also triggers the S&H.
