  • Publication number: 20230028250
    Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus is provided. A bias-voltage generating circuit provides a first bias voltage and a second bias voltage to a photo-sensing diode when the optical sensing apparatus is respectively in a first mode and a second mode, such that the photo-sensing diode provides a time-of-flight ranging signal in the first mode and an ambient-light sensing signal in the second mode. A quenching circuit provides the time-of-flight ranging signal to a ranging signal processing circuit in the first mode, quenches the photo-sensing diode, and provides the ambient-light sensing signal to a light-sensing signal processing circuit in the second mode.
