2、原理

采用FPGA的CARRY4進(jìn)位單元，每個(gè)CARRY4的COUT連接到下一個(gè)CARRY4的CIN，這樣級(jí)聯(lián)起來，形成延時(shí)鏈;每個(gè)COUT做為抽頭輸出到觸發(fā)器，通過本地時(shí)鐘進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)采樣。假定每個(gè)延時(shí)鏈的延時(shí)是固定的(最后需要標(biāo)定)，可通過采樣值大致估算所測信號(hào)與本地時(shí)鐘上升沿之間的間隔，當(dāng)?shù)玫竭m當(dāng)?shù)臉?biāo)定后，可獲得較高的精度。

3、當(dāng)前測試的芯片是XC7K325TFFG900 -2

仿真中的carry4 除第一級(jí)外，其他的carry4輸出到輸入延遲固定都是53ps，但是這是4個(gè)進(jìn)位的延遲時(shí)間，只是vivado仿真工具有限制，且需要后仿真。

時(shí)鐘模塊100M輸入，400M輸出，并經(jīng)過BUFG資源。

由于每個(gè)carry4的延遲時(shí)間是53ps，每個(gè)時(shí)鐘周期是2.5ns，最多需要50個(gè)carry4級(jí)聯(lián)即可。

5、約束
