Abstract
A method for increasing a resolution of an on-chip measurement circuit is provided. The method includes propagating a first signal through the on-chip measurement circuit to generate a first output. The method also includes propagating a second signal through the on-chip measurement circuit to generate a second output. The second signal includes a delay. The method also includes reconciling the first output and the second output to determine the resolution of the on-chip measurement circuit. The resolution of the on-chip measurement circuit increases in correspondence with a fineness of a step of the delay.
