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 ...

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

Successive Approximation Time-to-Digital Converters

2020 6th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP), 2020
The successive approximation scheme belongs to fundamental and most successful methods of analog-to-digital conversion that has been implemented commercially for decades and is still used nowadays. Despite of a widespread use of successive approximation ADCs, the binary search scheme in time-to-digital converters (SA-TDCs) is adopted much rarely.

Integral-type Time-to-Digital Converter

2018 14th IEEE International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology (ICSICT), 2018
This paper proposes an integral-type time-to-digital (TDC) converter, inspired by an integral-type analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The proposed TDC can achieve fine time measurement resolution between two rising timing edges of two digital signal inputs, as its measurement time becomes longer.

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 ...

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-interleaved analog-to-digital converters

2009
This thesis describes the feasibility of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a sample-rate of 1-2 GS/s, a resolution of 8-10 bits, and a state-of-the-art power efficiency of less than 1 pJ/conversion step. The time-interleaved architecture exploits parallelism to increase the sample-rate while maintaining good power efficiency, and therefore it ...

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

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.
