Also Available Domains Transistor Logic|Cadence EDA

Project Code :TVPGTO32

Objective

This paper presents the CMOS signal converter that can perform both time-to-digital and temperature-to-digital conversions. By using the proposed PG, offset-error cancellation for accuracy improvement and area will be less.

Abstract

In this project, an all-digital CMOS pulse-shrinking Time to Digital Converter (TDC) with temperature measuring capability is presented. The proposed TDC consists of Pulse Generator (PG), a Cyclic Delay line (CDL), a Time Subtractor (TS), and a Counter (CNT). The pulse generator is proposed to generate either a time-added pulse or a temperature-sensing pulse. A Cyclic Delay Line (CDL) is used for temperature sensing and a pulse-shrinking time measurement. A time subtractor  eliminates the effect of the offset error enhances accuracy. The proposed design is implemented using 180nm technology in Tanner EDA tool.

Keywords: CMOS, pulse shrinking, Temperature Sensor (TS), Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC).
