Patent ID: 11943542
Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. An imaging system comprising:
a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes; and
control circuitry configured to:
set a bias voltage for the plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes to a first voltage level during a first sub-exposure;
expose the plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes to a first subset of light pulses during the first sub-exposure;
set the bias voltage for the plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes to a second voltage level during a second sub-exposure, wherein the second voltage level is different than the first voltage level; and
expose the plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes to a second subset of the light pulses during the second sub-exposure, wherein the first subset of the light pulses comprises a first half of the light pulses and wherein the second subset of the light pulses comprises a second half of the light pulses.
