Time-to-Digital Converter with Successive Measurements

The invention relates to the conversion into digital information of the time difference between a first signal and a second signal. In particular, in order to determine a fractional part of the number of periods of a first signal for a period of a second signal, the following are alternately perform...

Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to the conversion into digital information of the time difference between a first signal and a second signal. In particular, in order to determine a fractional part of the number of periods of a first signal for a period of a second signal, the following are alternately performed: /1/ delaying the second signal relative to the first signal and determining a first digital information item, a function of the fractional part, /2/ delaying the first signal relative to the second signal and determining a second digital information item, a function of the fractional part. Then the fractional part is calculated as a function of the previously obtained first and second digital information items.
