A time-to-digital converter (TDC) includes a counter and a digital core. The counter is designed to generate a sequence of counts representing a number of transitions of interest of a first clock signal. The counter includes an asynchronous circuit and a synchronous circuit to respectively generate a first set of bits and a second set of bits of each of the sequence of numbers. The digital core is designed to process a pair of counts of the sequence.
