Time figure conversion module among the present invention is in the middle of actual application, and wherein low section time figure modular converter is realized low section number conversion by phase-detection, specifically selects the best transition configuration of 8 phase places, 3 bits; High section time figure conversion module adopts 10 bit linear feedback shift register counters to realize, 13 complete bit high accuracy count are finished in both cooperations.
In concrete the application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the second either-or switch in the low section time figure conversion module, high level advances such as mode of operation for the low section of control time figure conversion module; The first either-or switch, high level is the low section of access time figure conversion module output signal, low level is the low-frequency clock signal of access low-frequency clock module.Main control system sends control signal to the multi-channel high-accuracy delay controller, the multi-channel high-accuracy delay controller is through time-delay and pulsewidth setting, corresponding delayed control signal is transferred to respectively controlled device simultaneously, and generating laser receive delay control signal sends laser; Wherein, gate-control signal is the control signal of the first either-or switch and the second either-or switch; Gate-control signal is between high period, and this is the count cycle; Each quenching restoring circuit module is in the receiving mode of corresponding photoelectric sensor, and photoelectric sensor is waited for and received photon; Low section time figure conversion module carries out the low section counting of the overall situation, and produces simultaneously high frequency clock signal, flows to each high section time figure conversion module, carries out respectively high-frequency count; When photoelectric sensor receives photon, quenching restoring circuit module by correspondence produces stop signal, send to corresponding high section time figure conversion module, high section time figure conversion module quits work, and to this moment inner count status latch, simultaneously, the electric signal that photoelectric sensor sends is also controlled the count information that will hang down this moment in the section time figure conversion module, be sent in this out-of-work high section time figure conversion module and latch, form complete count information by the count information in the high section time figure conversion module and the count information in the time figure conversion module of location, low section time figure conversion module continues counting simultaneously.Because for each different circuit pixel cell, different photon due ins are different, and the latch time of corresponding count status is also just different.
As shown in Figure 6, control the first either-or switch and the second either-or switch by main control system, so that the count mode of this device finishes, enter the low-frequency transmission pattern, to the count information for each circuit pixel cell, take to export line by line count information, wherein, the mode of the data series read-out is accompanied by in addition three synchronizing signals that data are exported, and is respectively frame synchronizing signal, word sync signal and bit synchronization signal, the output digit signals bits per inch is according to remaining unchanged in the cycle a bit synchronization, in the practical application of 13 bit high accuracy count, namely transmission 1 bit data in each bit synchronization cycle is transmitted 13 bit data in the circuit pixel cell altogether; Word sync signal is each circuit pixel cell 13 Bit data synchronous signal transmission.Frame synchronizing signal is the synchronizing signal of all circuit pixel cell transmission in the whole system.By the time data transmission is complete, and the low-frequency clock module is closed in control, to reduce the quiescent dissipation of system.
Time figure conversion module among the present invention adopts two-part, comprises low section time figure conversion module and high section time figure conversion module, lays respectively in the outer and pixel of pixel, from the complete high-frequency count function of function realization.In this device, low side time figure conversion module is shared by system and is arranged on outside the circuit pixel cell, carries out meticulous counting; High section time figure conversion module is arranged in each circuit pixel cell, is respectively each circuit pixel cell and slightly counts.Hang down outside the circuit pixel cell under the synergy of high section time figure conversion module in section time figure conversion module and each circuit pixel cell, the high precision of finishing count mode quantizes, in the practical application, with the form Measuring Time of binary counting.Because the counting frequency of operation of time figure conversion module is very high, reach more than hundred megahertzes, therefore require frequency stabilization, time quantization is average.
High section time figure conversion module is that the overall situation is shared, and can make the clock synchronous of system's overall situation high, reduces relative error; High each circuit pixel cell of section time figure conversion module exclusively enjoys, and makes the data of each circuit pixel cell independent of crosstalking, the error code problem that produces when avoiding the data write circuit pixel cell of high section time figure conversion module.
The above has done detailed description to embodiments of the present invention by reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, in the ken that those of ordinary skills possess, can also make a variety of changes under the prerequisite that does not break away from aim of the present invention.
