Abstract
A time to digital converter (TDC) comprising a tapped delay line (TDL) having two or more sectors, each sector of the two or more sectors having a dedicated or a shared latching clock, or two or more TDLs each having at least one sector, wherein each TDL of the two or more TDLs includes a dedicated latching clock for each sector, and a snapshot register (TDLSecS) configured to latch the sector on its respective latching clock to generate a thermometer reading.
