Pulsewidth measurements using an integrated pulse shrinking delay line

Abstract
A simple means for measuring pulse widths with nanosecond resolution is presented. The method is based on the use of a fully integrated delay line of CMOS gates having different rise and fall delays. The width of the pulse is decreased by each gate, and the vanishing point of the pulse is detected. Results showing a resolution of 2-3 ns are presented.
