Popis: This paper presents a new self-clocked time-to-digital conversion method based on a binary successive approximation (SA) algorithm. Its novelty consists in combining fully clockless operation with direct conversion of the measured time interval. The lack of any reference clock makes the presented method potentially predisposed to low-power solutions. Furthermore, its circuit representation is extremely simple, thereby the ability to direct conversion of time intervals is not burdened by a significant amount of components. The method is intended to measure relatively long time intervals, i.e., hundreds of microseconds. Therefore, it is suitable for e.g., biomedical applications using time-mode signal processing.
