Abstract :
Time difference amplification is a technique which has been developed previously to facilitate the measurement of temporal events in circuits whose magnitudes are decreasing with the advances in technology. A technique is proposed which extends the time input difference (ΔTinput) range achieved by current methods from 40 to 70 ps.
