Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measurement device, a measurement method, and a program that enable measurement of a distance with high accuracy in a shorter time. A signal for giving an instruction on emission timing to emit a pulse of laser light is generated repeatedly for each predetermined processing cycle, and a count code indicating timing at which a pulse of reflected light that is the laser light reflected by a distance measurement target and returned is received is continuously counted at the time of switching a processing cycle. Then, an instruction on an emission delay value indicating a time for delaying the emission timing from the start of the processing cycle is given to be different for each processing cycle. The present disclosure can be applied to a measurement device that measures a distance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measurement device, a measurement method, and a program that enable measurement in a shorter time. A signal for giving an instruction on emission timing to emit a pulse of laser light is generated in order to output the laser light having the number of pulse emissions of two or more times within a distance measurement range time of one time by setting, as the distance measurement range time, a width of a flight time in which light reciprocates between the measurement device and a distance measurement range representing a fixed distance width including a distance to be measured.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an amplifier and a signal processing circuit that can reduce deterioration of signal quality. A voltage-to-time converter (VTC) integrates error information included in an output pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that is a PWM signal to be output to an outside of a device, so as to convert the error information into error time information. A delay unit generates a plurality of delayed signals using an input PWM signal that is a PWM signal input from the outside of the device. A signal selection unit selects a delayed signal according to the error time information from the plurality of delayed signals and outputs the output PWM signal. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an audio player.
