摘要: This paper presents a fine-resolution time-to-digital converter (TDC) with large dynamic range using 3-D Vernier space. Despite the wide range, required delay cells in delay-lines are minimized, leading to better power efficiency. The proposed TDC also exploits redundancy and error-correction technique solve offset error of coarse conversion space architecture. is implemented 0.13- μm CMOS process. measurement result shows an 11-bit 6.98-ps resolution, integrated nonlinearity ±1.5 LSB, consumption 328.8 μW, die area 0.28 mm 2 .
