    Abstract: Technologies described herein include a programmable power module for a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system. In some aspects, the programmable power module includes circuitry that supplies a bias voltage to a photodetector array, and a programmable interface comprising a serial interface and multiple configurable ports. Each one of the multiple configurable ports is configured as one of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output port, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input port, a digital output port, or a digital input port. The serial interface can be configured to receive program code defining a control voltage that causes the circuitry to set the bias voltage. A first configurable port of the multiple configurable ports can be connected to the circuitry and can be configured as a first DAC output port that outputs the control voltage to the circuitry.

    Abstract: Techniques, methods, circuits, and systems are provided for providing stabilization for a circuit. One example system includes a switching converter coupled to a power source; a low-pass filter coupled to a load device; a direct current (DC) path; and an alternating current (AC) path, where the DC path and the AC path are provided between the switching converter and the low-pass filter, and where the AC path provides a non-phased information signal to be used to compensate for a phase delay occurring in the DC path. In a more specific implementation, the DC path can be configured to provide control, at low frequency, for an output to the load device. In addition, an error amplifier can be to the DC path and the AC path, where the low-pass filter and the error amplifier can be configured to determine a switchover between the AC path and DC path.
