Time parameter measurement system
2011
The invention discloses a time parameter measurement system for digital integrated circuits. The system is implemented by converting a to-be-measured signal IN into a time interval start signal Start and a stop signal Stop as well as pulse signals RStart and RStop by a channel circuit unit; then, the four signals are respectively provided for an accurate time measurement unit and a coarse time measurement unit to carry out measurement, wherein the accurate time measurement unit is composed of a multi-stage delay line and a calibration unit, and used for carrying out measurement under the condition that the rising edge of the to-be-measured signal is steep; and the coarse time measurement unit is composed of a jittering shielding circuit, a counter 1 and a counter 2 (the operating frequencies of the counter 1 and the counter 2 are complementary), and used for carrying out measurement under the condition that the rising edge of the to-be-measured signal is slow. By using the system disclosed by the invention, the difficulty of improving the resolution ratio of a time parameter measurement system for high-precision digital integrated circuits in the prior art is overcome, and the technical difficulty that the measurement bandwidth of a time parameter measurement system is limited caused by the jitter of output signals of a comparator for channel circuits.
