SECO-RANGEFINDER-GEVK
Description
The SiPM Direct Time of Flight (dToF) LiDAR Platform is
a complete development kit for single point range−finding
applications. The FDA−certified kit is based on the RB−series
NIR−enhanced SiPM from ON Semiconductor, and integrates all
essential system components including laser and reference circuit
(Tx), receiving circuit (Rx), power management systems, and core
FPGA and UART communication.
The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a single−photosensitive, high
performance, solid−state sensor. It is formed of a summed array of
closely−packed Single Photon Avalanche Photodiode (SPAD) sensors
with integrated quench resistors, resulting in a compact sensor that has
high gain (~1x106), high detection efficiency (> 50%) and fast timing
(sub−ns rise times).
