Abstract

A time to digital converter (TDC) with a time resolution of 1 ns has been designed. The deadtime is T+0.6 μs where T is the measured time. The time range can be preselected between 0.3 between 10 μs. The TDC has one START and three mutually exclusive STOP inputs which accept standard pulses (−16 mA). The time information is presented as a bit binary word, including the activated stop input address. The instrument has been successfully used in μ + SR (muon spin rotation) measurements and has proven itself advantageous over the more common TAC+ADC combination.
