    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a transmitter, a signal input channel, a signal sampling circuit, and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit. The transmitter is configured to transmit a ranging signal. The signal input channel is configured to transmit an analog electrical signal corresponding to an echo signal of the ranging signal. The signal sampling circuit includes a switched capacitor array and is configured to sample the analog electrical signal and store a sampled signal of the analog electrical signal. The analog-to-digital conversion circuit is configured to perform analog-to-digital conversion on the sampled signal stored in the signal sampling circuit to generate a digital electrical signal indicating reception time of the echo signal.

    Abstract: A laser distance measurement device includes a transmission circuit configured to emit at least two laser pulse sequences having different emission paths at different times, a receiving circuit configured to receive the at least two laser pulse sequences reflected by an object and perform photoelectric conversion on the at least two laser pulse sequences to obtain at least two electrical signals, a sampling circuit configured to sample the at least two electrical signals to obtain sampling results, and a processing circuit configured to determine a distance to the object to be detected according to the sampling results. Drive signals in the transmission circuit that correspond to the at least two laser pulse sequences share a device of the transmission circuit, and/or the at least two electrical signals share a device of the receiving circuit, a device of the sampling circuit, and/or a device of the processing circuit.
