A time-to-digital converter is provided. The time-to-digital converter includes a delay circuit configured to iteratively delay a reference signal for generating a plurality of delayed reference signals. Further, the time-to-digital converter includes a plurality of sample circuits each configured to sample an oscillation signal based on one of the plurality of delayed reference signals. The time-to-digital converter additionally includes a control circuit configured to de-activate at least one of the plurality of sample circuits based on a predicted value of the phase of the oscillation signal.
A time-to-digital converter, comprising:
A method for operating a time-to-digital converter that comprises a delay circuit configured to iteratively delay a reference signal for generating a plurality of delayed reference signals, and a plurality of sample circuits each configured to sample an oscillation signal based on one of the plurality of delayed reference signals, wherein the method comprises:
