Title:
TIME - TO - DIGITAL CONVERTER AND METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/034770
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Time-to-digital converter system comprising: an event detector configured for detecting an event and generating an event detection signal upon detection of the event;and a time-to-digital converter coupled or connectable to the event detector and comprising a fine resolution part configured for counting fine time intervals, organized such that the fine resolution part is activated in response to the event detection signal and deactivated in response to a reference clock. 3D imager comprising an array of pixels, with in each pixel such a time-to-digital converter system, and further comprising a reference clock generator.
