  • Abstract
    The basic advantages and limitations of using integrated digital CMOS delay lines for the digitization of short time intervals are discussed. Accuracies of 6-7 b and single-shot resolutions from 0.1 to 10 ns are demonstrated to be realizable using fully integrated, tapped, and voltage-controlled CMOS delay lines as a time base for the measurement
