SiPM based Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging VCII Interface

We here propose an interface circuit for Silicon photomultipliers sensors for Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) applications. The proposed interface has been designed at transistor level by means of a 150 nm technology process from LFoundry. Simulation results are presented in the paper demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed design to be used for such applications where short current pulses need to be detected as in LIDAR systems.
