Abstract
A time-to-digital converter (TDC) provided according to an aspect of the present disclosure identifies existence of jitter in either one of two periodic signals received as inputs. In an embodiment, jitter is detected by examining a first sequence of counts and a second sequence of counts respectively for a first periodic signal and a second periodic signal received as input signals, with the first sequence of counts representing respective time instances on a time scale at which a first sequence of edges with a first direction of the first periodic signal occur, and the second sequence of counts representing respective time instances on the time scale at which a second sequence of edges with the first direction of the second periodic signal occur.
