This paper presents the comparison of main properties of two recently developed methods for precise time-todigital conversion based on time coding respectively in independent coding lines and with the use of multi-edge pattern signal. An essential advantage of these methods consists in capability to overcome the technological limitation of conversion resolution of methods commonly used so far. Both methods were used to design two time counters implemented in the same programmable device. Then the counters were tested in identical measurement conditions and obtained results were compared in the context of main metrological, design, technical and economic parameters.

Resolution of Time to DigitalConvertor (TDC) is a critical parameter in determining the overall performance of Time Of Flight based laser range finder system. This paper focuses on designing a high resolution Laser Range Finder (LRF) using CommercialOff-The-Shelf (COTS) components. The designed LRF consists of a high resolution Time to Digital Convertor using Virtex-4 FPGA, Parallel to USB converter, High Voltage Power Supply and Data acquisition and display module. TDC generates START pulse at pulse repetition frequency (prf). This pulse is fed as trigger to laser TX. Avalanche Photo-Diode (APD) receiver with high voltage bias (~140V) generates a STOP pulse on receipt of reflected laser beam. This pulse is level translated and fed to TDC as STOP pulse. Digital Clock Manager (DCM) is used to achieve clock interpolation for improving resolution beyond 1 clock period. The output of TDC is parallel 16-bit digital count which is converted to serial USB protocol and interfaced to PC based data acquisition system. The raw data is processed and distance information is derived after calibration with known distance sets. Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed for display, record and calibration. Full system resolution of about 22 cm is achieved in hardware for a range of 10m. The system has a power consumption of 6.15W.
