Time-to-Digit Converter Based on Radiation-Tolerant FPGA

Original language description

Architecture of a time-to-digit converter (TDC ) is presented. TDC is an electronic device which measures time of arrival of discrete electronic pulses, with respect to reference time base. Our work on TDC is motivated by its applications in field of long-range laser distance measurement and time synchronization. Unlike earlier time interpolation methods, we have chosen all-digital approach based on pulse propagation through tapped delay line. We do not expect it could outperform recent invention of time interpolation using narrow-band filter excitation. However, our approach relies on a standard digital circuitry only. With space applications in mind, we are implementing the TDC into a space qualified, radiation tolerant field-programmable gate array(FPGA ).
