A 90nm CMOS gated-ring-oscillator-based 2-dimension Vernier time-to-digital converter
Two branches of gated ring oscillators (GRO) act as the delay lines in 2-dimension Vernier time-to-digital converter (TDC). The proposed architecture reduces dramatically the inherent latency of vernier structure. The already small quantization noise of the standard Vernier TDC is further first-order shaped by the GRO operation. The TDC has been simulated in 90nm CMOS technology. Operating from 50MHz reference frequency, it achieves a resolution better than 2ps assuming a signal bandwidth of 1.56MHz (OSR=16), for a minimum current consumption of 1.8mA from 1.2V.
