The invention discloses a
photon event concurrent detection circuit and method for a single
photon 3D
laser radar detector. The detection circuit comprises four RS flip-
flops, a judging circuit and atrigger / reset circuit, wherein the judging circuit consists of a mirror
current source network and a
voltage comparator; and the judging circuit converts the number of avalanche pulse signals into a
signal whose
voltage threshold is VA through the mirror
current source network, and compares the
signal with a set reference
voltage signal Vref through the voltage
comparator to realize the function of concurrent detection of
photon events and suppressing of
noise photons. The photon event concurrent detection circuit provided by the invention occupies a small
chip layout area, effectively improves filling factors of the SPAD pixel unit, improves the degree of integration of the SPAD array
detector, and has the advantages of low
circuit complexity, complete compatibility of the manufacturing process with the
CMOS process, low manufacturing cost, good performance consistency among the respective circuits, and high yield.
