Abstract

The invention provides an LFSR counter used for measuring photon flight time. The LFSR counter comprises 14 identical double-edge C<2>MOS triggers C0-C13, a four-input exclusive-OR gate XNOR and an nmos setting switch. The source electrode of the nmos setting switch is an input control port VS, the grid electrode of the nmos setting switch is an input control port VG, the substrate of the nmos setting switch is connected with ground VSS; the drain electrode of the nmos setting switch is connected with an input end D of the double-edge C<2>MOS trigger C0. The counter employs fewer parts; the counter employs the double-edge trigger mode, so that the circuit area is reduced and the clock frequency is reduced; with the nmos setting switch, cumbersome design of feedback network combinational logic is prevented, a feedback network can be realized only by one four-input exclusive-OR gate, so that the circuit area is greatly reduced and the phenomenon of endless loop is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser detection and readout circuits, in particular to an LFSR counter for measuring photon flight time. Background technique [0002] Active laser detection is a laser detection technology that uses a laser pulser to emit laser pulses to the target object to be detected, and calculates the distance to the target object by measuring the time between the echo pulse and the emitted pulse. In some special application fields, such as concealed military target detection, long-distance target detection and weak light target detection, etc., due to the requirements of detection concealment and the limitation of the target object's own lighting conditions, it is necessary to use high-sensitivity, fast-response Fast photodetectors are used for detection. Among the various photodetectors currently appearing, the Avalanche Photo Diode (APD) working in the Geiger mode can respond to a single photon and reach the limit of phot...
