• TITLE: Single-Stage Vernier Time-to-Digital Converter with Sub-Gate Delay Time Resolution

  AUTHORS: Chin-Hsin Lin, Marek Syrzycki

  KEYWORDS: Vernier Time-to-Digital Converter, Dynamic-Logic Phase Frequency Detector

  ABSTRACT: This paperpresents a single-stage Vernier Time-to-Digital Converter (VTDC) that utilizes the dynamic-logic phase detector. The zero dead-zone characteristic of this phase detector allows for the single-stage VTDC to deliver sub-gate delay time resolution. The single-stage VTDC has been designed in 0.13μm CMOS technology. The simulation results demonstrate a linear input-output characteristic for input dynamic range from 0 to 1.6ns with a time resolution of 25ps.
