摘要
A novel time-to-digital converter is proposed. The TDC is based on a ring oscillator, and operates by switching the oscillation frequency in a cyclic manner. The operating principle resembles a cyclic/algorithmic ADC, where the quantization error is amplified and quantized recursively. Due to the recursive operation, the TDC can achieve very high resolution. Resolution is mainly limited by nonlinearities and the phase noise of the ring oscillator. Simulations on a standard 0.35 mu m CMOS process show that a maximum error due to process variations and mismatch is about +/- 2ps when the TDC is properly calibrated. Noise induced measurement error was simulated to have a standard deviation of 0.3ps.
