Abstract

A Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) detector circuit includes a memory device comprising a first memory and a second memory, and at least one control circuit. The at least one control circuit is configured to execute first memory storage operations to store data indicated by detection signals received from one or more photodetector elements in the first memory during a first portion of a time between pulses of an emitter signal output from a LIDAR emitter element, and to execute second memory storage operations to include the data, which was stored in the first memory, in the second memory during a second portion of the time between the pulses of the emitter signal. Related devices and methods of operation are also discussed.
