The time-to-digital converter

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1969
Abstract A new instrument for time control and adjustment to be used in computer controlled multicounter experiments is presented. The proposed time-to-digital converter is a parallel unit to the ADC.

Monolithic time-to-digital converter with 20ps resolution

ESSCIRC 2004 - 29th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat. No.03EX705), 2004
We present a fully-integrated time-to-digital converter, in a standard 0.8/spl mu/m-CMOS technology, based on a cyclic pulse-shrinking design, that provides the lowest channel width of 20ps ever reported in literature for a single-shot measurements performed by monolithic circuits, with differential linearity errors lower than 10ps (less than 0.5LSB ...

Time-to-digital converters

2020
Integrated circuits, especially analog circuits, are highly sensitive to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations. The information processed by analog circuits is often embedded in the amplitude of the waveforms, which requires circuits with high precision and high linearity. On the other hand, analog signal processing in time domain, such as

A Multihit Time-to-Digital Converter Architecture on FPGA

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2009
We present a multihit time-to-digital converter (TDC) architecture implemented in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with minimized timing overhead. The TDC circuit provides two-level fine-time interpolation. The fine interpolator is a matrix of Vernier delay cells interconnected in a topology to provide two propagation paths for the incoming data ...

A clockless time-to-digital converter

2010 IEEE 26-th Convention of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Israel, 2010
Existing implementations of time-to-digital converters are based on the use of reference clocks. In the paper, a new method of clockless time-to-digital conversion (TDC) is proposed where the discretized time interval is first converted to the corresponding charge packet, and next processed in the charge domain by successive charge redistribution.

Time-to-Digital Converters

2013
Dynamic development in science and technology in the second half of the twentieth century caused, among others, an increase in the interest in methods and techniques for precise measurement of time interval that elapses between two physical events.

A multistop time-to-digital converter

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, 1981
Abstract The article describes a multistop TDC with a resolution of 1 ns designed for time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maximum 128 μs) in heavy ion induced desorption experiments. The dead time of the device is 80 ns. An optional circuit for random rejection of stop signals allows observation of the second of two masses desorbed simultaneously ...

Interpolating time-to-digital converters

Optoelectronics, Instrumentation and Data Processing, 2008
Principles of conversion of single time intervals into a digital code with the use of interpolation of the reference period for reducing the sampling error are reviewed. Interpolating converters are based on integrated digital delay lines and phase interpolation elements, which allow the resolution lower than the propagation delay of a single logical ...

Background on Time-to-Digital Converters

2015
For the first time, a third-order noise shaping concept has been successfully implemented in the design of time-to-digital converters (TDCs). Two 1-1-1 multistage noise shaping (MASH) \(\Delta\Sigma\) TDCs are presented in this chapter. Third-order time domain noise shaping has been adopted by the TDCs to achieve better than 6 ps resolution.
