  • Abstract
    A novel quenching-and-reset circuit for single-photon avalanche diodes is presented. The circuit has been fabricated in a standard 0.6-um CMOS technology and can operate with detectors biased up to 5 V above breakdown. The circuit functionality has been verified by experimental measurements, showing a programmable hold-off time from 50 ns for reducing the after pulsing effect.
