Abstract: A dark current compensation circuit comprises a first comparator having inputs for a detection signal and a first voltage, and a second comparator having inputs for the detection signal and a second voltage. The dark current compensation circuit also comprises a controller coupled to the first and second comparators, which has an input for an event signal. An adjustable current source is coupled to the controller and configured to generate a compensation current. The controller adjusts a value of the compensation current based on the first and second comparator outputs and maintains a constant value in response to the event signal indicating photons incident on a photon detector. In some implementations, the dark current compensation circuit further comprises an analog sub-circuit coupled to the adjustable current source and configured to receive the detection signal. The analog sub-circuit generates an analog compensation current in response to the detection signal.

Abstract: An analog front-end circuit includes an array of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit includes an event counter and a power consumption circuit. The event counter is configured to count photons incident at the pixel circuit. The power compensation circuit includes an event rate circuit and a current sink circuit. The event rate circuit is configured to determine a rate of photon detection events at the pixel circuit. The current sink circuit is configured to pass a compensation current selected based on the rate of photon detection events at the pixel circuit.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a circuit that includes a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) that generates an integrated signal in response to a current signal. An active comparator is coupled to the CSA. The active comparator receives the integrated signal and a primary reference voltage signal, and generates an event detect signal. A first delay element is coupled to the active comparator and provides a fixed delay to the event detect signal to generate a convert signal. A discriminator system is coupled to the CSA. The discriminator system samples the integrated signal when activated by the convert signal.

Abstract: In described examples, a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) generates an integrated signal in response to a current signal. A high pass filter is coupled to the CSA and receives the integrated signal and an inverse of an event signal, the high pass filter generates a coarse signal. An active comparator is coupled to the high pass filter and receives the coarse signal and a primary reference voltage signal, the active comparator generates the event signal.
