Abstract
A photodetection device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pulse responder, an analog counter part, and a resetter. The pulse responder generates a pulse signal in response to light incidence. The analog counter part generates an analog first count value by performing count processing on the basis of the pulse signal. The resetter resets the first count value when the first count value exceeds a first threshold.
