A 3GS/s highly linear energy efficient constant-slope based voltage-to-time converter

This paper presents a high speed highly linear energy-efficient constant-slope based voltage-to-time converter (VTC). By combining sample-and-hold with constant charging process, we achieve precise sampled step and linear charging ramp concurrently without using the extra control clock. Simple calib...
