This paper presents a 12-bit branching Time-to-Digital converter (TDC) fabricated in a 40 nm CMOS technology. It composes of a 6-bit coarse counter TDC, and a 6-bit fine TDC. The fine TDC utilizes a proposed branching technique to interpolate between the phases of a 16-stage gated ring oscillator, i...
