Abstract :
A four-channel 1024-b time-to-digital converter chip, which records input signals to memory cells at 1-ns intervals, has been developed. To achieve 1-ns precision, the chip incorporates a feedback stabilized delay element. The chip was fabricated on a 5.0-mm×5.6-mm die using 0.8-μm CMOS technology. It dissipates only 7 mW/channel under typical operating conditions
