Abstract :
In this paper the concept of time amplification in the digital domain is introduced along with simple CMOS implementations. Simulations suggest that the time amplifier (TAMP) can be practically designed for gains up to a few thousands with input dynamic ranges in excess of a few hundred picoseconds. Some figures of merit and performance are introduced along with a discussion on some of the trade-offs involved in the design of a time amplifier.
