We present the design and test results of a Time-to-Digital-Converter (TDC) functional block. The TDC will be a part of the readout ASIC, called ETROC, of the Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) for the CMS Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) of High-Luminosity LHC upgrade. One of the challenges of the ETROC design is that the TDC is required to consume less than 200 mW for each pixel at the nominal...
