Abstract

A short (nanosecond) pulse amplitude-to-time interval converter features a 0.1- to 3.5-V input amplitude range with a 3- to 5-ns pulse duration. The conversion accuracy is about 0.5%, and the dead time is up to 10 μs. Differentiating feedback and temperature compensation are used to raise the conversion stability. The converter is intended for correcting errors of time synchronization units.
