Implementation of Mux Based Encoder for Time To digital Converters Architecture

A Time to digital converter is a device for recognizing events and providing a digital representation of the time they occurred. It is a device commonly used to measure a time interval and convert it into digital (binary) output. A Time-to-digital converter (TDC) is similar to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), except that, instead of quantizing voltage or current, the TDC quantizes time intervals between two rising edges. It is originally developed for nuclear experiments to locate single-shot events, the TDC is now being used in many applications such as laser range finders, space science instruments, physical instruments, phase meters, high energy particle detectors, and measurement devices. Our proposed work is to implement mux based encoder for TIME TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (TDC) with bubble error correction using Xilinx software.
