Introduction

This paper presents a methodology to determine photoreceiver performance in a time-of-flight system. The Allegro test devices presented as examples in this paper do not reflect a current Allegro product. Rather, the example devices presented in this paper are intended to help system designers who seek to understand the myriad factors that interplay to affect photoreceiver performance.
