Abstract:
A time-to-voltage converter is configured to generate an output voltage signal and a correlated reference voltage signal. The time-to-voltage converter includes a current source configured to generate a bias current through a current source output node. The time-to-voltage converter includes a first switched-capacitor circuit coupled to the current source output node and configured to generate the output voltage signal based on an input time signal and the bias current during a first interval. The time-to-voltage converter includes a second switched-capacitor circuit coupled to the current source output node and configured to generate the correlated reference voltage signal based on a reference time signal and the bias current during a second interval. The first interval and the second interval are non-overlapping intervals.

Claim (Index 12):
A method comprising:\n generating a bias current; generating an output voltage signal that is linearly related to an input time signal based on the bias current during a first interval; generating a correlated reference voltage signal, generation of the correlated reference voltage signal comprising:\n sampling the bias current during a second interval to generate a bias current sample; and \n updating the correlated reference voltage signal using the bias current sample to generate the correlated reference voltage signal, \n wherein the first interval and the second interval are non-overlapping periodic intervals of a periodic signal.
