High Resolution Asynchronous Digital Event Timer
Abstrak
Many scientific and astronomical instruments need precise time measurement with high resolution between two or more events which is very challenging since decades. Presently a fast response of high resolution 17.1ps Digital Event Timer (DET) has been implemented using FPGA. The floor plan of FPGA is purposely arranged to get the higher resolution for timing measurement. As compared to various event timers (time to digit converters), the present design has better accuracy and higher resolution. The present DET is using the clock frequency (GHz) capable of measuring time in fraction microseconds and a unique asynchronous vernier approach to measure the time fraction of clock cycle which increases its resolution compared to Digital Event Timers. Fast response and higher resolution make it a better choice for multi KHz satellite laser ranging and other LIDAR applications.
