An Extensive Investigation and Analysis of Temperature-to-Digital Converter FoMs

This paper proposes an extensive investigation of temperature-to-digital converters (TDCs) figures-of-merit (FoMs): the main features of these systems are identified in order to determine the best FoM for achieving an e ffective TDC evaluation considering the desired performance characteristics. Multiple FoMs are presented, ranging from already established to newly defined ones, in order to obtain a picture of the TDC state-of-the-art with several angles and perspectives providing a complete overview of this framework.
