Cascoded Active Quencher for SPADs With Bipolar Differential Amplifier in 0.35 μm BiCMOS

Fast active quenching of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is important to reduce the afterpulsing probability (APP). An option to reduce the reaction time of electronics to a SPAD's avalanche is to design a quencher exploiting bipolar transistors. A quencher in a 0.35 μm...
