Abstract
A time-to-digital converter (TDC) circuit with self-testing function includes: a D flip-flop, where an input terminal of the D flip-flop is configured to be coupled to a data signal, and a clock terminal of the D flip-flop is configured to be coupled to a clock signal; and an AND gate, where a first input terminal of the AND gate is configured to be coupled to an enable signal of the TDC circuit, a second input terminal of the AND gate is configured to be coupled to a test signal, and an output terminal of the AND gate is coupled to a control terminal of the D flip-flop.
