In a 13-bit Wilkinson ADC with gated integrator type acquisition capability
I designed about 10 years ago I was successful using a 74hct221 monoflop.
The stability does (unavoidably) depend on the passives, but if you
use C0G capacitors and reasonably low ppm temperature drift resistors
12 to 13 bit precision is quite achievable (the 221 behaves really well).
 Higher stability than that is achievable (while staying practical) only by
means of a quartz oscillator and dividers - if this is an option for you.
