A time-of-flight apparatus has a light source for emitting a light pulse to a scene; a photo-detection portion for detecting at least the light pulse reflected from the scene within a first photo-detection time interval, wherein the photo-detection portion includes at least one photo-detection element; and a measurement circuitry configured to: drive, within a measurement time interval including the first photo-detection time interval, the at least one photo-detection element for detecting the light pulse reflected from the scene, and drain, within the measurement time interval and after the first photo-detection time interval, electrons from the at least one photo-detection element.

Time-of-flight apparatus and method

A device has a plurality of analog-to-digital converters. Each of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters has a voltage offset, wherein a predefined set of voltage offsets has a voltage offset distribution pattern, which provides a fingerprint for the device.
