  • SINGLE-PHOTON AVALANCHE DIODE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SINGLE-PHOTON AVALANCHE DIODE
    Publication number: 20200144436
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detector, comprising a semiconductor substrate (1) having a bulk region (10), at least one SPAD (2) at the bulk region of the semiconductor substrate, the SPAD having a junction multiplication region (20), and an operating circuitry (3) configured to generate an electric transport field for transferring photo-generated carriers from the bulk region of the semiconductor substrate to the multiplication junction region of the SPAD. The disclosure further relates to a method for operating a SPAD.

  • Driver circuitry and electronic device including a multipurpose inductor
    Patent number: 10250011
    Abstract: Driver circuitry including an inductor configured to be used both as an inductor of a buck converter and to provide high-speed pulse driving of a load. The driver circuitry includes the buck converter, which includes a first switch, a second switch and a comparator configured to drive the first switch and the second switch. The inductor is connected between the first switch and the second switch of the buck converter and the load and supplies current to drive the load.
