Lecture description
Time-to-Digital Converters (TDCs) are specialized electronic devices used to measure the time interval between events with high precision. TDCs are essential in applications requiring
precise timing information, such as in high-energy physics experiments, medical imaging, and communication systems.
FPGAs have been used for implementing TDCs due to their ability to handle multiple timing channels simultaneously, and achieve high resolution and accuracy thanks to their finegrained timing capabilities and fast processing speeds.
For even higher resolutions, it is possible to use the GateMate FPGA's innovative carry and propagation lines (CP-lines), which form the arithmetic part of the so-called Cologne
Programmable Elements (CPE). This advanced architecture achieves a remarkable and unprecedented resolution of just 5 picoseconds, making them ideal for applications
requiring ultra-precise timing accuracy
