Abstract
An electronic circuit and a method of error correction are provided. The electronic circuit includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and an error cancelation circuit. The TDC is configured to generate a first signal. The error cancelation circuit is configured to evaluate a majority of bit values of at least a portion of the first signal to generate a second signal. The number of transitions within the second signal is less than the number of transitions within the first signal.
