  • Bang-bang time to digital converter systems and methods
    Patent number: 9395698
    Abstract: A time to digital converter includes a mutual exclusion element and a sampling component. The mutual exclusion element is configured to receive a first clock and a second clock and to generate a first pulse and a second pulse. The mutual exclusion element is configured to drive the first pulse to a first logic state and the second pulse to a second logic state upon the first clock being earlier than the second clock and drive the second pulse to the first logic state and the first pulse to the second logic state upon the second clock being earlier than the first clock. The sampling component is configured to receive the first pulse and the second pulse and to generate a decision signal according to the first pulse and the second pulse.
