Hi Thanks for the info. The fpga baesed TDC is something I am interested in. However, I am a beginner of fpga programming. Maybe next year I will spend sometime study this project. VHDL is quite difficult for a C programmer :(.

It's interesting to see that the TDC7200 performs slightly better than the GP22. BTW: If you are using a large FPGA like the EP4CE22, then you might want to consider using it directly as a TDC. You can fit four ring oscillator based TDC easily and have more than enough space for your control logic (we did a 4 TDC system with an NIOS2 core and some glue and still had space spare). The bin with is in the order of 22ps, with excursions up to 100ps. The code we used was based on the tdc-core by CERN[1] and can be found on my git server [2]. Special thanks to Florian Huemer who got it working properly.
