TIME-OF-FLIGHT LIGHT EVENT DETECTION CIRCUITRY AND TIME-OF-FLIGHT LIGHT EVENT DETECTION METHOD

Abstract: the present disclosure generally pertains to time-of-flight light event detection circuitry configured to: determine, in a macropixel mode, for a first frame for a first predetermined time period, light events of light being incident on a first light detection element; determine, in the macropixel mode, for the first frame for a second predetermined time period, light events of light being incident on a second light detection element; and determine, in a window mode, based on the macropixel mode, for a second frame after the resulting first frame, a third time period, in which light events are to be detected.
