在本篇論文中，具高量測範圍與高電壓變異容忍度之全數位晶片內延遲量測電路設計中被提出。所提出的晶片內延遲量測電路不僅不需要任何額外的自我偏壓或校正電路即可對電壓變異擁有高抵抗能力而且亦具有高量測範圍。
所提出的晶片內延遲量測電路被實現在TSMC 0.18μm 標準CMOS 製程中，從模擬結果顯示其延遲量測範圍可達1.2ns。因為利用了低電壓敏感度游標尺式量測架構之延遲線以及雙全數位延遲鎖定迴路，且此游標尺延遲線隨著 + 10% 的供應電壓變異，延遲變異量約為1%，所以達到整體電路量測解析度約為20.388ps。本篇所提出的晶片內延遲量測電路使用全數位設計的方式來實現，因此它們皆非常適合於系統晶片的應用以及易整合於系統中。

In this thesis, wide measurement range and high supply voltage variation Tolerance all-digital on-chip delay measurement (OCDM) circuit design are proposed. The OCDM circuits not only have a high immunity to supply voltage variations without extra self-biasing or calibration circuit, but also achieve high wide measurement range.
The proposed OCDM circuit is implemented in TSMC 0.18μm standard CMOS technology, and simulation results show that measurement range can be improved to 1.2ns. Because using the vernier delay line with low supply sensitivity and two all-digital delay-locked loops, also the vernier delay line’s delay variation is about 1% with + 10% supply voltage variation. Also, the measurement resolution of this circuit is about 20.388ps with + 10% supply voltage variation.The proposed OCDM circuits can be implemented in all-digital design manner, making it very suitable for SOC application as well as system-level integration.
