  • Abstract
    The first synchronous cyclic TDC is proposed in 28nm CMOS process. A novel 2x time amplifier whose gain is insensitive to variations and noise is proposed by using time conservative nature of the proposed synchronous time adder. The implemented 12b TDC occupies 0.01 mm2, consumes 820μW and it achieves 0.63ps of resolution over 2.6ns of input range.
