Monolithic time-to-digital converter with 20ps resolution
ESSCIRC 2004 - 29th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (IEEE Cat. No.03EX705), 2004We 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 ...

CMOS Time-to-Digital Converters for Biomedical Imaging Applications
IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, 2023Time-to-digital converters (TDCs) are high-performance mixed-signal circuits capable of timestamping events with sub-gate delay resolution. As a result of their high-performance, in recent years TDCs were integrated in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology with highly sensitive photodetectors known as single-photon avalanche diodes (

Automatic calibration of Time to Digital Converter
2009 IEEE Intrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, 2009Due to its restricted usage and accuracy in measuring extremely short interval of time, TDC (time to digital converter) embedded measurement devices are relatively expansive. Even if new applications are being developed in daily life as well as in industry, the cost condition of TDC based measurement systems needs to be improved.

A wide-range time-to-digital converter
Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1978Abstract The design and performance of a wide-range multi-stop time-to-digital converter (TDC) with a minimum time increment of 0.1 μs are described. The differential non-linearity of the TDC is improved to be less than 0.6% by the use of a strobe signal synchronized to the clock pulse.

Multisampling wave union time-to-digital converter
2020 6th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP), 2020A novel time-to-digital converter principle is presented that introduces multisampling capability to the wave union method. The design employs two wave union launchers for both start and stop signals. For test purposes the converter was implemented in Kintex-7 FPGA device (Xilinx). During the initial experimental verification a mean resolution (LSB) of

High resolution time-to-digital converters
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1992Abstract High resolution TDC chips use active delays as time reference and flip-flops as comparators, instead of switched current sources and ADCs as implemented in analog designs. As a result, a straight encoding is obtained, allowing time binning down to 50 ps, taking advantage of the high accuracy of IC processes.

Harmonic ring oscillator time-to-digital converter
2015 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2015A simple yet high performance time-to-digital converter (TDC) architecture is proposed in this paper. Its key advantage is its ability to sample-and-hold a time interval and thereafter oversample the stored quantity to provide sub-gate delay resolution and high linearity. The converter is fully digital, synthesizable from standard logic cells, and owes

Single Shot Time-to-Digital Converters
2018This chapter discusses the system level design and physical implementation of a single-shot TDC. In Chap. 2, various topologies were discussed to implement a Time-to-Digital converter, each of them having its own advantages and disadvantages. Since the application scope of this work is high-energy physics and space, the most important constraints are ...
