| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention is to provide a light-receiving circuit, in particular, the circuit for an avalanche photodiode (APD), in which the current of the APD is dynamically controlled to protect the APD from the over current. The circuit comprises the high voltage source, the current mirror circuit connected to the high voltage source, the APD connected to one of the current output terminal of the current mirror circuit, and the current source connected to the other current output terminal of the current mirror circuit. The current flowing out from the other current output terminal is dynamically controlled by the current source to protect the APD from the over current. |
