  • Publication number: 20230400576
    Abstract: A distance meter circuit includes: a driver for generating a driving pulse according to a measuring control signal to drive a laser diode to emit a light pulse to an object; a photonic sensing device for generating a first light conversion signal in response to the light pulse reflected by the object; a read-out circuit for measuring a TOF of the light pulse reflected by the object; an adjustable delay circuit for providing an adjustable delay time between the measuring control signal and the measuring trigger signal, or between the measuring control signal and the driving pulse; and a DLL controller for generating a delay control signal by comparing a phase difference between the measuring trigger signal and a driving related signal related to the driving pulse such that the phase difference is regulated to a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 9565042
    Abstract: An ultra-low power transmitter applied in multi-channel frequency shift keying (FSK) communication is provided. The transmitter includes a fixed-frequency generation device, a low-frequency frequency synthesizer, and an injection locking device. The fixed-frequency generation device provides a reference frequency to the low-frequency frequency synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer divides the reference frequency with corresponding divisors for generating a plurality of divided frequency signals. Then, the divided frequency signals are injected into the injection locking device. The injection locking device will lock at the average frequency of previously mentioned divided frequencies. Wherein, the injection locking device filters the high frequency noise, which is produced by the frequency synthesizer, at the time of the injection locking. The ultra-low power transmitter obtains a high-frequency transmitted signal by using the frequency-locked signal.
