Exponential extended flash time-to-digital converter [PDF]
2016 Second International Conference on Event-based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP), 2016 The digital-to-time converter (DTC)-based all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) attracts more and more attention due to its ultra-lower power consumption characteristic [1]. With DTC, the time-to-digital converter's (TDC) requirements are relaxed, not only for its range but also for its nonlinearity. However, the shortened TDC range, which is less than
