Specific embodiment
Patent of the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with Figure of description.
As shown in figure 1, for the present invention is quenched reset circuit figure.The circuit is by an avalanche diode SPAD, 14 NMOS Pipe and 16 PMOSs are constituted, and are specifically included:NMOS tube MN0, MN1, MN2, MN3, MN4, MN5, MN6, MN7, MN8, MN9, MN10, MN11, MN12, MN13, PMOS MP0, MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, MP5, MP6, MP7, MP8, MP9, MP10, MP11, MP12、MP13、MP14、MP15.Wherein the negative electrode of SPAD (being k nodes in Fig. 1) connects bias voltage (Vbreak+Vex);NMOS tube MN9 is reset transistor, and its grid connects the output (drain electrode of PMOS MP0) of delay circuit, and drain electrode connects the anode (figure of diode SPAD It is a nodes in 1);The drain and gate of NMOS tube MN10 connects together, and forms a structure for the MOS diode of small resistor, is Avalanche current provides a low impedance path;The source electrode of PMOS MP9 meets VDD, and drain electrode connects the grid of MN10;The leakage of NMOS tube MN11 Pole connects the source electrode of MN10, and its grid connects the grid of PMOS MP9;PMOS MP13 and NMOS tube MN15 one Low threshold of composition Phase inverter.PMOS MP10, MP11, MP12, NMOS tube MN12, MN13, MN14 constitute a Schmidt trigger;NMOS tube MN0, MN1, MN2, MN3, MN4, PMOS MP0, MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4 constitute a delay circuit being made up of phase inverter, The input of delay circuit is the grid of NMOS tube MP4, and p node is corresponded in figure, and delay circuit is output as PMOS MP0's Drain electrode, in Fig. 1 corresponding to reset nodes;NMOS tube MN5, MN6, PMOS MP5, MP6 constitutes a nor gate, NAND gate Two input nodes be respectively p node and reset nodes;NMOS tube MN7, PMOS MP7 constitute a phase inverter, its input It is the output (being q nodes in Fig. 1) of nor gate;NMOS tube MN8, PMOS MP8 constitute afterbody phase inverter, and its input is preceding The output (being r nodes in Fig. 1) of one-level phase inverter, the effect of the two phase inverters is to the snowslide shaping pulse of output.
Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detector is biased in more than breakdown voltage (Vbreak+Vex), is now in Reform Mode.Wherein Vbreak is breakdown voltage, and Vex is the part that bias voltage exceedes avalanche voltage, commonly referred to overbias. SPAD detectors under Reform Mode once receive photon (even single photon), and the carrier of photosensitive area will be produced Raw collision, so as to snowslide phenomenon occur in the presence of highfield.If drop to the bias voltage of SPAD in the short time punctured Below voltage, avalanche process will terminate, and SPAD detectors are quenched.
As shown in figure 1, circuit includes three parts:Loop (for positive feedback loop) is quenched, reset loop is (for negative-feedback is returned Road), snowslide pulse output signals process part.In original state, the anode (a nodes in Fig. 1) of SPAD is in 0 current potential, p sections Point current potential and m node potentials are in high potential, and reset node potentials are in 0 current potential.When SPAD detectors receive the light period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, Avalanche current can be produced, there are a large amount of positive charges to flow to anode (a nodes) from the negative electrode (k nodes) of SPAD, then a node potentials are opened Begin to rise, when a node potentials rise to the half of supply voltage, the output (m points) of the phase inverter being made up of MP13 and MN15 Begin to be reduced to 0 current potential by supply voltage, i.e. the grid of NMOS tube MN9 and MN11 is reduced to 0 current potential, the grid drop of MN11 It is low so that the channel resistance increase of MN11, now the path of releasing of avalanche current is blocked.Additionally, the grid potential drop of MP9 The low channel resistance for causing MP9 is reduced, and electric current directly flows to its drain electrode from the source electrode of MP9 (connecing supply voltage), promotes a nodes Current potential is raised rapidly.Then circuit can be completed in a relatively short time the process being quenched.
On reset loop, only when a node potentials exceed the half of supply voltage and reach the upper of schmitt inverter During threshold value (i.e. the bias voltage of SPAD is reached below avalanche voltage), Schmidt trigger just starts to start, and its output is (in Fig. 1 It is p node) start by the input reduction of high level reduction, i.e. phase inverter delay circuit (hereinafter referred to as delay circuit), due to prolonging When circuit (5 grades of phase inverters) is constituted by odd number phase inverter, so delay circuit output (in Fig. 1 be reset nodes) is raised, That is the grid voltage of NMOS tube MN9 (reset transistor) is raised, so that MN9 is turned on, is formed between the anode and ground of diode SPAD One current path, then a node potentials come back to 0 current potential, and the now output of Schmidt trigger can be raised, by one Individual delay circuit, the grid of NMOS tube MN9 is changed into low level, and reset transistor MN9 disconnects.Now a node potentials remain 0 current potential, Wait the arrival of photon signal next time.
It is whole to be quenched after reset circuit sensed avalanche current, by the signal output of avalanche current to counting circuit Go.The present invention is processed the input and output node that export delay circuit by exporting branch road, and obtains final output. Output branch road includes 1 nor gate, 2 phase inverters.Q nodes and reset nodes are then obtained as two inputs of nor gate To a burst pulse, in the shaping by two-stage phase inverter so that the rising and falling time of output pulse is shorter, and waveform is more It is preferable, it is easy to the treatment of subsequent counter circuit.
For ease of skilled artisan understands that the present invention, there is presently provided a specific implementation example:During the present invention is based on The international 0.18 μm CMOS technology of core is emulated to the above-mentioned reset circuit that is quenched, and simulation parameter is specific as follows:Supply voltage It is 3.3V;The avalanche breakdown voltage of the VerilogA models of the SPAD that this emulation is used is 12.2V, and overbias is 2.1V, therefore Bias voltage is 14.3V;Photon pulse is replaced with voltage pulse, and pulse width is 100ps, and the pulse period is 300ns.Based on Upper simulation parameter, the simulation result figure that the present invention has carried out the emulation of duration 5us and obtained as shown in Figures 2 and 3.In Fig. 2 Abscissa is simulation time, and 7 ordinates are respectively photonic analogy pulse signal (photon) and 6 electricity of node in circuit Pressure signal, this 6 voltage signals are followed successively by a nodes, p node, reset nodes, q nodes, r nodes, out nodes.Can from Fig. 2 To see, when no photon pulse arrives, SPAD diodes can also produce snowslide high current, and this is due in SPAD The dark counting of certain occurrence probability and the factor of afterpulse are added in VerilogA models, such model is more nearly very The SPAD detectors that real technique is manufactured.Fig. 3 takes the partial enlarged drawing of 419ns to 438ns for the abscissa of Fig. 2, in detail Describe the course of work that reset circuit is quenched of the invention.From figure 3, it can be seen that of the invention be quenched the dead of reset circuit Time is 14.2ns, and Schmidt trigger just overturns when a node voltages rise to 2.25V, the biasing at diode two ends Voltage continues to rise already below 12.05V, afterwards a node voltages, and diode both end voltage continues to decline, far below breakdown potential Pressure, illustrates that the high current of SPAD detectors is fully quenched.The Schmidt trigger is reduced to 1.1V in a node voltages When, just overturn.Can be seen that the average delay produced by 5 grades of phase inverter delay circuits is from p node and reset nodes 3.5ns.Within the time of this 3.5ns, cause that a node voltages continue to climb to voltage (SPAD detectors two ends higher enough Bias voltage be reduced to below bias voltage).P node and reset nodes are two inputs of the OR circuit in output stage End, the output node of nor gate is q nodes.Only when two input signals of nor gate are simultaneously 0 current potential, output q nodes are It is high level, the corresponding output q nodes of other input states are all 0 current potential, the 5th row institute of simulation waveform such as Fig. 3 of node q Show.The signal of q nodes is transferred to r nodes by a phase inverter, and the signal of r nodes is transferred to final defeated by a phase inverter The signal of egress out, then in analogous diagram, obtains the waveform of r nodes after the waveform upset of q nodes, the waveform of r nodes is turned over The waveform of out nodes is obtained after turning.So the synchronous waveform of the waveform of out nodes and q nodes changes, but pulse rise and under The time of drop is shorter, and waveform is more preferable.
