Title
11.7b Time-To-Digital Converter with 0.82ps resolution in 130nm CMOS Technology
Abstract
This paper describes a high-resolution 11.7b Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) designed in a pure digital CMOS 130nm technology. The target architecture comprises a looped delay-line based on an inverter-based pulse-shrinking technique. The proposed technique can achieve a 0.82ps resolution with a dynamic range of 2.918ns, an integral nonlinearity (INL) of -2.4 to 2.11 and a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of -0.91 to 0.87 LSB. In addition, it occupies a low area of 0.148 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .
