A Self-Calibrated Time-Digital-Converter Used for GFSK Signal Demodulation

Designed a Time Digital Converter (TDC) for the demodulation of GFSK signal.The TDC consists of delay chain,D flip-flop and delay calibration circuit.TDC samples the IF,and converts the frequency information to a binary code.The delay line calibration circuit is used to ensure delay time of the delay cell is accurate.The TDC is designed in 0.18μm CMOS technology.The layout area is 0.08 mm².Simulation results show that the TDC achieves differential nonlinearity of 0.07 LSB,integral nonlinearity of-0.14 LSB and power consumption of 0.9mW,frequency offset tolerance of±350kHz.
