摘要: 介绍了一种在FPGA中基于Wave Union技术而实现的32通道高精度时间数字转换器(time-to-digital convertor,TDC)电路.利用加法器进位链的进位延迟,输入击中前沿产生wave union送到进位链-寄存器阵列结构中做多次测量,有效地细分了进位链中的超宽码(ultra-wide bins),提高了时间间隔测量精度.经过初步的时序仿真和硬件测试,验证结果表明该T DC电路基本满足设计要求.Abstract: A 32-channel and high-resolution Wave Union time-to-digital converter (TDC) implemented in FPGA is presented.Utilizing time delay in carry chain of adders,leading edge of input hit launches a “wave union” into the carry chain-register array structure,in which multiple measurements are made to effectively subdivide the ultra-wide bins and improve measurement resolution.Timing simulation and hardware testing results show that the TDC circuit basically fulfills the design requirements.
