Modeling an SPAD-based time-of-flight sensor

This paper presents the system-level simulation of a direct time-of-flight sensor with 64 single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), a time-to-digital converter, and a histogram counter using XMODEL.

Tip of the Month

Measuring the average power of a circuit-level model

Here is a simple example of measuring the average power dissipation of a wireline transmitter using a 'meas_avg' primitive.

Primitive of the Month

meas_avg

This primitive can measure the average of an xreal-type signal within a given time interval, such as average power dissipation.
