A Compact Phase-Domain Delta–Sigma Time-to-Digital Converter With 8.5-ps Resolution for LiDAR Applications 150 150
Author(s): Yoondeok Na, Myung-Jae Lee, Youngcheol Chae

Abstract:

This letter introduces a compact, high-resolution time-to-digital converter (TDC) for lidar applications. In contrast to a conventional histogram-based peak detection method, this letter proposes a mean detection method using a highly digitized phase-domain delta–sigma (PD $\Delta \Sigma$ ) TDC. The proposed TDC operates in an incremental $\Delta \Sigma $ manner for …

Abstract:

This letter presents a low-noise wideband analog front-end (AFE) circuit for long-range linear LiDAR. The nMOS feedforward transimpedance amplifier with inner feedback resistor (NFFR-TIA) is proposed to extend the bandwidth to around 400 MHz and reduce the input referred noise (IRN) concurrently with high-transimpedance gain and improved stability. Two stage continuous-time …
