ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF ERROR CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17827834 titled 'ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF ERROR CORRECTION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an electronic circuit and a method of error correction. - The electronic circuit includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and an error cancelation circuit. - The TDC generates a first signal. - The error cancelation circuit evaluates a majority of bit values of at least a portion of the first signal to generate a second signal. - The second signal has fewer transitions than the first signal. - The purpose of the invention is to reduce errors in electronic circuits by minimizing the number of transitions in the signals generated by the TDC.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic circuit and a method of error correction are provided. The electronic circuit includes a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and an error cancelation circuit. The TDC is configured to generate a first signal. The error cancelation circuit is configured to evaluate a majority of bit values of at least a portion of the first signal to generate a second signal. The number of transitions within the second signal is less than the number of transitions within the first signal.
