1. A time-to-digital conversion system comprising:
a first circuitry configured to capture a time difference between two signals and output as a voltage measurement value that is proportional to the time difference between the two signals; and
a second circuitry configured to produce a time value representative of the time difference between the two signals based on the voltage measurement value.
