Abstract

Photo-sensitive element for electro-optical sensors, including at least a photodiode able to generate a current that is function of the incident light, a conversion circuit able to convert the current generated into a voltage signal, a comparator able to commute if the voltage signal reaches or exceeds a determinate threshold signal, and at least a measuring and memorization element able to measure and memorize the temporal instant of commutation of the comparator and able to be driven by a reference signal in order to render available to an output line a signal estimating the incident light. The reference signal is of the type that can be programmed from outside.
