Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed that comprises a time-to-digital converter (TDC) circuit. The TDC circuit is configured to obtain an oscillator clock signal and generate a coarse clock signal and a fine clock signal. The TDC circuit is configured to obtain a first clock signal, a second clock signal and a reference clock signal. The TDC circuit is configured to determine a first timestamp based on the first clock signal, the coarse clock signal, the fine clock signal and the reference clock signal and a second timestamp based on the second clock signal, the coarse clock signal, the fine clock signal and the reference clock signal. The TDC circuit is configured to output a time difference between the first and second timestamps that comprises a reference component generated based on the reference clock signal and a coarse and fine component generated based on the coarse and fine clock signals.
