Abstract

This invention discloses a self-correcting type time digital converter. The converter comprises a coarse measurement part, a fine measurement part and a correction part, wherein a counter is adopted to obtain a coarse time measurement result, a delay chain, a D trigger array and a search table unit are utilized to obtain a fine time measurement result, an offset correction unit is utilized to obtain a time measurement result, the time measurement result is the sum of the coarse time measurement result and the fine time measurement result, and then the time measurement result is corrected in combination with the temperature of current working environment which is measured by a temperature sensor. According to the scheme, the self-correcting type time digital converter can correct the measured time measurement result, and the environment adaptability of the time digital converter is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of time measurement, and more specifically, to a self-correcting time-to-digital converter. Background technique [0002] Time, whether in our daily life and work, or in many fields such as scientific research, plays a very important role and is one of the most basic parameters. Time measurement technology is widely used in nuclear and particle physics, quantum physics and technology, aerospace and other national defense construction and research fields. [0003] At present, high-precision time-to-digital converters based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are widely used, and time-interpolation measurements are performed using delay chains in FPGAs to improve the accuracy of time measurement. However, the path delay before the measured signal is transmitted to the delay chain will be affected by temperature, so a large measurement error will be introduced in a large temperature range. Ther...
