Abstract: In described examples, a circuit includes an integrator. The integrator generates a first signal responsive to an input signal. A trigger circuit is coupled to the integrator and receives the first signal. A charge dump circuit is coupled to the integrator and the trigger circuit. The trigger circuit modifies configuration of the charge dump circuit and the integrator when the first signal is greater than a first threshold.

Abstract: A circuit for use in a system that includes a detector, wherein the circuit comprises an input terminal to receive a detector signal from the detector external to the circuit, the detector signal to include an error charge corresponding to a leakage current. The circuit further comprises an amplifier coupled to the input terminal to receive input signals corresponding to the detector signal, including the error charge applied to an input of the amplifier. The circuit further comprises a feedback path coupled across the amplifier, wherein the feedback path comprises a first switch coupled across a leakage resistor and to a leakage capacitor for discharging a feedback compensation charge from the leakage capacitor and onto the input of the amplifier to substantially cancel the error charge.

Abstract: A photon counting system includes a photon sensor, a charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA) and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The CSA is configured to convert photon energy detected by the photon sensor to voltage pulses. The ADC is configured to digitize the voltage pulses generated by the CSA. The ADC includes successive approximation circuitry. The successive approximation circuitry includes an N-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), an N-bit successive approximation register (SAR), a plurality of N-bit registers, and a multiplexer configured to selectively route outputs of the SAR and outputs of the N-bit registers to the DAC for conversion to an analog signal.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a receiver with reduced noise. The receiver includes a photodiode that generates an input signal in response to received light pulses. A pixel switch is coupled to the photodiode. An operational amplifier is coupled to the photodiode through the pixel switch. A feedback capacitor and a reset switch are coupled between a first input port and an output port of the operational amplifier. A switched resistor network is coupled to the output port of the operational amplifier. A first switched capacitor network is coupled to the switched resistor network and samples a reset voltage. A second switched capacitor network is coupled to the switched resistor network and samples a signal voltage. A subtractor receives the reset voltage and the signal voltage, and generates a sample voltage. The second switched network comprises two or more capacitors.

Abstract: In described examples, a circuit includes an integrator. The integrator receives an input signal. A first sampling network is coupled to the integrator and generates a signal voltage. A second sampling network is coupled to the integrator and generates a pixel sampled noise voltage. The pixel sampled noise voltage generated in a previous cycle is subtracted from the signal voltage generated in a current cycle to generate a true signal voltage.
