基于FPGA的TDC设计及非线性校正

The Design and Non-linear Calibration for Time to Digital Converter Based on FPGA

  • 摘要: 时间数字转换电路是飞行时间质谱仪和火星能量粒子分析仪中必不可少的环节,其分辨率和精度的高低将直接决定飞行时间质谱仪和火星能量粒子分析仪中的粒子鉴别能力。文章利用FPGA内进位链结合粗计数的方法完成了对时间数字转换器的设计,采用Xilinx Spartan-6系列FPGA完成。设计了码密度测试法对进位链中延迟单元的延迟时间进行测量,在测试时发现其进位链中存在延迟时间较大的延迟单元,严重影响时间数字转换器测量的非线性程度。为解决这一问题,采用bin-by-bin的校准方式对延迟链非线性进行修正,提高TDC的测量精度。

     

    Abstract: TDC (Time-to-Digital Converters) is very important part for flight mass spectrometer (TOF) and mars energetic particles analyzer (Mars-EPA).Furthermore,the particle identification capability in TOF and Mars-EPA is determined by TDC’s least significant bit (LSB) and accuracy.The design has used FPGA’s carry-line and coarse counter to complete TDC based on Xilinx Spartan-6.The research has designed the code-density measurement to measure delay time of carry-line delay cell.In the measurement of code density,the research finds that there is large delay time delay-cell in the carry line which will influence TDC’s extent of non-linearity and accuracy.In order to improve the accuracy of TDC,the bin-by-bin calibration has been used to calibrate non-linearity of delay line and improve accuracy of TDC.
