Kurzfassung englisch:
An optical sensor IC in 0.35-µm CMOS is presented containing a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) and a fast quadruple-voltage quenching circuit (QVQC). The QVQC features a fast active quenching time of 0.93 ns, a total quenching time of 1.9 ns, and an adjustable total dead time (8.6-200 ns) to reduce the afterpulsing probability (APP). To verify the quenching performance, the circuit was integrated with a 40-µm diameter SPAD. Experiments show the reduction of afterpulsing by a low detection threshold and by fast quenching with a slew rate of 13.8 GV/s. Thus, an APP of 3.2% at 27-ns dead time, a peak photon detection probability (PDP) of 67.6% at 652 nm, and a PDP of 34.7% at 854 nm were measured at 13.2-V excess bias.
