Abstract
We report on the design and characterization of a
novel time-resolved image sensor fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS
process. Each pixel within the 32 32 pixel array contains a
low-noise single-photon detector and a high-precision time-to-dig-
ital converter (TDC). The 10-bit TDC exhibits a timing resolution
of 119 ps with a timing uniformity across the entire array of less
than 2 LSBs. The differential non-linearity (DNL) and integral
non-linearity (INL) were measured at ±0.4 and ±1.2 LSBs, respec-
