==TIME TO DIGITAL CONVERTER ARRANGEMENT WITH INCREASED DETECTION RANGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459719 titled 'TIME TO DIGITAL CONVERTER ARRANGEMENT WITH INCREASED DETECTION RANGE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a Time to Digital Converter (TDC) arrangement that includes various components such as delay circuits, phase detectors, logic circuits, multiplexers, a TDC, and an adder. These components work together to convert a signal with N phases into a digital output signal.

* The TDC arrangement includes a first delay circuit that receives a signal with N phases.
* A set of phase detectors compare each phase of the signal with a reference signal.
* A logic circuit receives the output signals from the phase detectors and determines which phase signal is closest to the reference signal.
* A first multiplexer receives the outputs from the first delay circuit and the logic circuit.
* A second delay circuit delays the reference signal.
* A TDC receives the output signals from the first multiplexer and the second delay circuit.
* An adder sums the outputs from the logic circuit and the TDC to generate the final output signal of the TDC arrangement.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Time measurement in various fields such as telecommunications, radar systems, and scientific research.
* High-resolution time interval measurements in digital systems.
* Time-of-flight measurements in distance measurement systems.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Accurate measurement of time intervals with high precision.
* Efficient conversion of analog signals into digital signals.
* Reduction of errors and noise in time measurement.

Benefits of this technology:
* High accuracy and precision in time measurement.
* Improved reliability and stability in digital systems.
* Increased efficiency and performance in various applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A Time to Digital Converter (TDC) arrangement includes a first delay circuit configured to receive a signal with N phases; a set of phase detectors configured to compare each phase of the signal with a reference signal; a logic circuit configured to receive output signals from the set of phase detectors and detect which phase signal that is the closest signal leading or lagging the reference signal; a first multiplexer configured to receive outputs from the first delay circuit and the logic circuit; a second delay circuit configured to delay the reference signal; a TDC configured to receive output signals from the first multiplexer and the second delay circuit; an adder configured to sum outputs from the logic circuit and the TDC and generate an output signal of the TDC arrangement.
