Abstract
A signal converter may include: a clock generation unit suitable for generating a counting clock signal having a given period value; a signal dividing unit suitable for dividing an input signal having time information by a preset division value correlated with the given period value; and a counting unit suitable for generating a counting value by counting an output signal of the signal dividing unit in response to the counting clock signal.
