Abstract
Disclosed is a time-to-digital (TDC) converter comprising an analog voltage source. An analog-to-digital converter quantizes two voltage samples in response to receiving a first input signal at a first time tand a second input signal at a second time t. The first and second digital signals are combined to produce a digital signal that represents the difference (t−t).
