High-Resolution Timing Measurement System

A high-resolution time interval measurement system, with picosecond accuracy, for diagnosis the timing behavior of digital logic circuits is proposed. It uses time interval measurement principle and statistical approach for experimental data analysis. Metastability measurement method, using the time search approach in provoking metastable behavior is presented. It enables automatic data acquisition for the Mean Time Between Failures characteristic. The results of determing the metastability failure rate of clocked FIFOs in asynchronous system applications are given.
