Abstract
This paper describes the architecture, implementation and measurement results for a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC), with histogram-method self-calibration, for high-speed I/O interface circuit test applications. We have implemented the proposed TDC using a Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC), and measurement results show that TDC linearity is improved by the self-calibration. All TDC circuits, as well as the self-calibration circuits can be implemented as digital circuits, even by using FPGA instead of full custom ICs, so this is ideal for fine CMOS implementation with short design time.
