Abstract
In some implementations, a controller may cause a first switch of a driver circuit to transition from an open state to a closed state to charge an inductive element of the driver circuit. The controller may cause the first switch to transition from the closed state to the open state to discharge the inductive element. The controller may cause a second switch of the driver circuit to transition from an open state to a closed state to select a capacitive element to be charged by discharging the inductive element. The controller may cause a third switch of the driver circuit to transition from an open state to a closed state to discharge the selected capacitive element to provide an electrical pulse to an optical emitter, of an array of optical emitters of the driver circuit, that is connected to the selected capacitive element.
