This paper presents a wide-range time-to-digital converter (TDC) which can provide medium and small quantized steps for different wireline clock solutions. The TDC adaptively reuses the slow chain from a Vernier structure to cover >4ns input range with only 16-pair delay cells, rendering a fast loop locking in a digital Phase-Locked Loop. Additionally, an optional 1-bit fractional TDC helps to improve the Vernier resolution by >85%, which further eases Vernier resolution requirement for more delay unit saving. Simulated in a 5nm FinFET process, the TDC consumes 0.93mW from 0.875V supply at a sampling clock of 156.25MHz. Depending on the fractional TDC on or off, the TDC achieves 1.8ps or 16ps resolution, respectively.
