Precise ToF counters are employed by AFP to reduce pile-up background in the forward proton spectrometers. It is expected that at the highest LHC luminosity up to ~35 interactions occur at the same bunch crossing in ATLAS. A precision of the order of few mm (~10 ps) or better is required to adequately distinguish the vertex of interest - from which the unbroken scattered protons originate - from other pile-up vertices, with good efficiency. The development and testing of the QUARTIC precision ToF detector and its readout is described. This detector utilizes fused-silica radiators readout by Micro-Channel Plates Photomultipliers. The frontend readout electronics is based on the High Precision Time to Digital Converter (HPTDC).
