Abstract:
A time-to-digital converter includes N stages of converting circuits, where N 2, and N is an integer. Each stage of the converting circuit includes a first delayer and an arbiter; an output end of the first delayer in each stage of the converting circuit outputs a delayed signal of the stage of the converting circuit; and the arbiter in each stage of the converting circuit receives a sampling clock and the delayed signal of the stage of the converting circuit, and compares the sampling clock with the delayed signal to obtain an output signal of the stage of the converting circuit. The first delayer in each stage of the converting circuit includes at least one first delay cell circuit with a first time unit. The first delayer in any stage of the converting circuit includes a less number of first delay cell circuits than the first delayer in a next stage of the converting circuit.

Claim (Index 16):
The digital phase locked loop according to  claim 13 , wherein the each stage of the converting circuit further includes a second delayer, wherein\n a second delayer in the first stage of the converting circuit is configured to receive the clock signal, an input end of the second delayer in the each stage of the converting circuit other than the first stage of the converting circuit is coupled to an output end of a second delayer in the previous stage of the converting circuit, and an output end of the second delayer in the each stage of the converting circuit is configured to output the sampling clock of the stage of the converting circuit.
