摘要: An exemplary system includes a PLL circuit and a precision timing circuit connected to the PLL circuit. The PLL circuit has a PLL feedback period defined by a reference clock and includes a voltage controlled oscillator configured to lock to the reference clock and having a plurality of stages configured to output a plurality of fine phase signals each having a different phase, and a feedback divider configured to be clocked by a single fine phase signal included in the plurality of fine phase signals and have a plurality of feedback divider states during the PLL feedback period. The precision timing circuit is configured to generate a timing pulse and set, based on a first combination of one of the fine phase signals and one of the feedback divider states, a temporal position of the timing pulse within the PLL feedback period.

摘要: An exemplary optical measurement system includes a light source configured to emit light directed at a target. The optical measurement system further includes a photodetector configured to detect a photon of the light after the light is scattered by the target. The optical measurement system further includes a control circuit configured to receive a first input voltage that is a temperature-dependent voltage. The control circuit is further configured to receive a second input voltage that is a temperature-invariant voltage. The control circuit is further configured to output, based on a combination of the first input voltage and the second input voltage, a bias voltage for the photodetector, wherein the combination of the first and second input voltages is configured to cause the bias voltage to vary based on temperature.

摘要: An exemplary photodetector includes a SPAD and a capacitor. The capacitor is configured to be charged, while the SPAD is in a disarmed state, with a bias voltage by a voltage source. The capacitor is further configured to supply, when the SPAD is put in an armed state, the bias voltage to an output node of the SPAD such that a voltage across the SPAD is greater than a breakdown voltage of the SPAD.
