  • Patent number: 7522084
    Abstract: A cycle time to digital converter includes a dual delay lock loop, multi phase sampling detector and VDL sampling detector. The dual delay lock loop generates the first voltage corresponding to the first delay time and the second voltage corresponding to the second delay time. The multi phase sampling detector receives first start signal, first stop signal and first voltage to detect a coarse delay time, generates the first group signals according to the coarse delay time, delays the first stop signal by a common delay time to generate the second stop signal, and delays the first start signal by the coarse delay time and the common delay time to generate the second start signal. The VDL sampling detector receives first voltage, second voltage, second start signal and second stop signal for detecting a fine delay time and generates the second group signals according to the fine delay time.
