Abstract

Integrated circuits, especially analog circuits, are highly sensitive to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations. The information processed by analog circuits is often embedded in the amplitude of the waveforms, which requires circuits with high precision and high linearity. On the other hand, analog signal processing in time domain, such as (TDCs) and digital to-time converters (DTCs), was not widely adopted until the late 1990s when semiconductor technology advanced to the sub-micrometer region.
