Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic circuit is provided. The electronic circuit includes a plurality of time-to-digital converters. Each of the plurality of time-to-digital converters includes a voltage-controlled oscillator configured to generate a multiphase clock. Each voltage-controlled oscillator includes a control transistor which is arranged between a first power supply line and a second power supply line and includes a gate to which a control voltage is input, and each voltage-controlled oscillator further includes a supply circuit configured to supply a current to the gate.
