Abstract

The invention is notably directed to a voltage-to-time converter comprising a first interleaving stage configured to perform a sampling of an input voltage, thereby generating a first set of sampled voltage signals. The first interleaving stage is further configured to perform a first voltage-to-time conversion in an interleaved manner, thereby generating a first set of time-interleaved signals in the time domain. A second interleaving stage is configured to perform a time-to-voltage conversion of the first set of time-interleaved signals, thereby generating a second set of sampled voltage signals. The second interleaving stage is further configured perform a second voltage-to-time conversion in an interleaved manner, thereby generating a second set of time-interleaved signals in the time domain. The invention further concerns a related design structure and a related method.
