Abstract
This paper is describing structure of a Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) compact model. Using a loop architecture to describe the impact ionization phenomenon, this approach yields a closer to physics SPAD model using minimal fitting adjustments and an innovative approach, hence differentiating itself from the majority of available SPAD models.
