(mentor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Electrical Engineering | Microelectronics Project Advanced Quantum Architecture Date 2017-11-28 Abstract The thesis presents a design that implements digitization of an analog SiPM's fast output on chip realized in order to minimize the complexity and increase the photon detection granularity. The design comprises a time-to-digital converter (TDC) in 0.35um CMOS technology. The TDC is a multi-path gated ring oscillator with a 6 bit counter for coarse bits and 9 phase detectors for the fine bits. Schematic and post-layout simulations indicated a 65ps LSB in the typical corner with a DNL of +/-0.55LSB and an INL of +/-1LSB. The TDC design does not comprise any additional calibration circuitry.
