WiCAS 2021 Invited Speakers

• Ultrafine Time Resolution, Linear Time-to-Digital Converter Design May 24, 2021 13:40-14:10 (KST)
  Hayun Chung, Korea University, Korea Details

  Abstract.

  High-resolution time-to-digital converters (TDCs) have many applications such as on-chip timing measurement, ADPLL, and time-of-flight measurement (ToF). Unfortunately, designing such high-resolution TDCs with high linearity is non-trivial due to worsening on-chip variability as fabrication technology continues to scale. While stochastic TDCs (STDCs) can potentially achieve fine time resolutions utilizing random on-chip variation effects, ironically, the randomness posed by the variability effects limit the linearity performance of the STDCs. This presentation proposes a STDC with linearity calibration that achieves ultrafine time resolution (360-fs) and good linearity (0.75 LSB INL), simultaneously.
