This is a review of time-interval measurement methods and techniques. The paper begins with the definition of TDC or Time to Digit Converter. The interpolating principle, which modern TDC with high resolution and large dynamic range bases on, is introduced in the following. The mainstream time-interval measurement methods, including the direct counter method, TI stretching method, time-to-amplitude method, Vernier method, tapped delay line method and differential delay line method are described in detail. Detrimental factors, such as nonlinearity and metasability, which undermine the high precision, are also presented. To minimize these effects, the nonlinearity correction method, PLL and DLL technique are given. In addition, the future for time-interval measurement is proposed.
