摘要: This paper presents an asynchronous pipelined all-digital 10-b time-to-digital converter (TDC) with fine resolution, good linearity, and high throughput. Using a 1.5-b/stage pipeline architecture, on-chip digital background calibration is implemented to correct residue subtraction error in the seven MSB stages. An clocking scheme realizes operation for higher The TDC was standard 0.13-μm CMOS technology has maximum throughput of 300 MS/s resolution 1.76 ps total conversion range 1.8 ns. measured DNL INL were 0.6 LSB 1.9 LSB, respectively.
