Embodiment

[0077] The present invention simulates the above-mentioned photon synchronous detection circuit based on a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process, and the simulation parameters are as follows: the reference voltage signal S1 takes 1.8V and SO takes 0V, that is, when at least three avalanche pulse input signals are detected, The judgment signal OK output by the tree-type judgment circuit is high level, it is judged that the response is triggered by laser photons, and the subsequent time-to-digital conversion circuit works effectively; otherwise, it is judged that the response is triggered by ambient photon noise, and the subsequent time-to-digital conversion Circuit operation is invalid. The avalanche pulse input signal is set as a continuous square wave with a pulse width of 2ns; the power supply voltage VDD is set as 1.8V. Based on the above simulation parameters, the present invention carried out a simulation with a duration of 100 ns, and detected 4 times in total, and obtained the ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser ranging and 3D imaging, and provides a photon synchronous detection circuit applied to a single-photon time-of-flight ranging system and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to its significant advantages such as high sensitivity, high detection efficiency, high time resolution, low power consumption and full compatibility with CMOS technology, single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are used in single-photon time-of-flight ranging and 3D imaging, etc. The technical field has broad application prospects. However, in the application of single-photon time-of-flight ranging, the SPAD device is seriously affected by the ambient photon noise when detecting the photons of the laser echo. When the traditional window and door method is used, when the photon noise in the external environment is large, the avalanche response interval of the device in the pixel unit is short or when t...
