CMOS Time-Mode Circuits and Systems

This book delivers a comprehensive treatment of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) time-mode circuits and systems. Featuring contributions from leading experts, the text begins by presenting a critical comparison of voltage-mode, current-mode, and time-mode signaling for mixed-mode signal processing. It then covers the fundamentals of time-mode signal processing, such as voltage-to-time converters, time-to-digital converters, all-digital phase-locked loops, and frequency synthesizers. It discusses time-mode delta-sigma-based analog-to-digital converters, placing a great emphasis on time-mode quantizers. It also includes a detailed study of ultra-low-power integrated time-mode temperature measurement systems.
