Hi, I am trying to find examples of TDC used in CDRs for use between the phase detectors and digital loop filter. Thus far I could only find TDC for use in frequency acquisition in PLLs, and nothing really for CDRs. A large number of TDC circuits I found for PLL use the lower-speed reference clock as a sampler, but that option is not really available for a high-speed CDR with random data input.
Any help pointing me in the direction regarding example literature or key words that I may be missing would be most appreciated.
