Description

High-count-rate time-to-digital converter applied to single-photon laser radar
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of time-to-digital conversion, and particularly relates to a high-count-rate time-to-digital converter based on a field programmable gate array applied to single-photon laser radar.
Background
The single-photon laser radar has wide application prospect in the fields of environmental monitoring, atmosphere remote sensing, three-dimensional imaging and the like. The echo signal intensity of the lidar is affected by an exponential decay term of atmospheric dissipation while being inversely proportional to the square of the detection distance, and thus has a very large dynamic range. The multichannel single photon detector can not only effectively receive weak echo signals at the far field, but also increase the saturation count rate of a receiving system and avoid signal distortion at the near field. The large number of detection signals generated by the multi-channel detector also presents a significant challenge for the acquisition and transmission of photon time-of-flight information.
The single-photon laser radar extracts effective information from a statistical histogram of the arrival time of the detection signals, and is insensitive to the arrival time of the single detection signals. The universal Time-to-digital Converter (TDC) needs to output the Time information of each detection event, and when the count rate of the signal is high, massive redundant data will be generated, which consumes longer transmission Time, and reduces the working efficiency of the lidar, thereby limiting the expansion of the lidar receiving system to more channels.

FIG. 5 is a key signal timing diagram of a high count rate time-to-digital converter according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
The above-described apparatus and method provided by the present utility model are described in further detail below in conjunction with fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 5, a. Cycle starts; b. reading out the data in the memory address i; c. calculating a new total count; d. the new total count is written back to memory address i and the next cycle begins.
Consider a single-photon lidar system in which a 16-channel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector, SNSPD) is used at the receiving end, the time measurement resolution is 20ns, the laser pulse repetition frequency is 10kHz, and 5000 time intervals are provided for the horizontal axis of the time distribution histogram.
As shown in fig. 1, the following modules are built into the FPGA: the storage module is used for storing a time distribution histogram of the laser radar echo signals by using an on-chip memory of the FPGA, each address stores data in k=4 time intervals, and photon counting in each time interval is stored by using 32bit data; the accumulation module is used for reading out photon counting data in a certain counted time interval, adding the number of photon counting newly arrived in the period to obtain new total photon signal counting and writing the new total photon signal counting back into the memory; the address generation module outputs memory address values corresponding to time intervals in the time distribution histogram during TDC operation.
As shown in fig. 2, the clock frequency of the accumulation module is set to 50MHz, corresponding to 20ns time measurement resolution of the lidar system. The probe signal of the SNSPD is first connected to the shaper 121, the initial signal output by the shaper 121 is at a low level, the first clock falling edge after the corresponding probe signal rising edge changes to a high level, and the second clock falling edge after the corresponding probe signal rising edge changes back to a low level. For the shaped signal, adder 122 calculates the newly added total count { N } within the current memory address i at each rising edge of the clock 4*i ,N 4*i+1 ,N 4*i+2 ,N 4*i+3 }. Adder 123 reads data { C } in the current address of the memory at the 4 x i+3 clock rising edge 4*i ,C 4*i+1 ,C 4*i+2 ,C 4*i+3 New data { N } is calculated on the 4 x i+3 clock falling edge 4*i +C 4*i ,N 4*i+1 +C 4*i+1 ,N 4*i+2 +C 4*i+2 ,N 4*i+3 +C 4*i+3 New data is written back into memory on the 4 x i +4 clock rising edge.
As shown in fig. 3, the input clock 0 of the address generation module uses the same 50MHz clock as the accumulation module. Clock 0 is divided and phase shifted by divider 4 131 to obtain clock 1 at 12.5 MHz. The counter 133 counts the clock 1, and the counted value is output as an address value of the memory module. When the counter reaches the set maximum value 1250, the counting is stopped and the output remains unchanged 1250. The timer 132 outputs a high level when the TDC starts to collect and outputs a low level after maintaining the collection time T set by the upper computer. The output of the timer 132 is anded with the reference signal to obtain a controlled reference signal. The count value of the counter is reset to 0 when the rising edge of the controlled reference signal arrives.
For ease of understanding, a timing diagram of several key signals in this embodiment is listed in fig. 5.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the working flow of the TDC is as follows:
the upper computer sets acquisition time T to the FPGA and sends a start instruction; after receiving the starting instruction, the FPGA clears the data in the memory 11; after the data of the memory 11 is cleared, the timer 132 starts to work, the externally input reference signal periodically clears the address output by the counter 133, then the address is increased with time, and the accumulation module 12 updates the latest histogram data into the memory in real time; the timer 132 outputs a low level after reaching the acquisition time T, the address value output by the counter 133 is no longer cleared, maintained at the maximum value 1250, and the data in the memory address 0 through address 1249 are no longer changed; the data in memory addresses 0 through 1249 are sequentially read out, and a time distribution histogram is drawn.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the maximum counting rate of SNSPD per channel is about 50Mcps, and the maximum counting rate can reach 800Mcps. If a general purpose TDC is used, the time information for each detected event uses 16bit data storage, then at most 12.8Gbit data per second will be generated, which is difficult to transmit and process in real time. By using the method of the utility model, the time distribution data of the detection signals can be counted in the FPGA in real time, the data quantity is only 160Kbit, and the speed of laser radar data transmission and processing is greatly improved. The data volume generated by the method disclosed by the utility model is irrelevant to the channel number of the single photon detector, and is beneficial to the expansion of the single photon laser radar to more channels.
