Abstract

Techniques for enabling a time-to-digital (TDC) to sample with sub-inverter delay resolution are disclosed. In an embodiment, the inputs to a differential D-Q flip-flop in the TDC are coupled to a single-ended signal and a delayed and inverted version of that signal to allow time interpolation of the signal. Further disclosed are techniques to balance the loads of a first delay line and a complementary delay line within the TDC.
