LIDAR receiving unit in a focal plane array assembly, comprising
- a plurality of sensor elements arranged in macro cells, and a plurality of readout elements, wherein the readout elements are designed as time-digital-converters, and wherein
- at least two sensor elements are assigned to a macro cell, wherein
- each sensor element can be individually activated and deactivated or can be activated and deactivated in groups of sensor elements, wherein each sensor element is connected to only one readout element, and wherein each readout element is connected to a plurality of sensor elements of different macro cells, wherein these different macro cells are active during different measurement cycles or two of these macro cells are never simultaneously active.
