A system for measuring output voltage from a photodetector. The system includes a photodetector that generates a photodetector output signal, a ramp generator that generates a ramp signal and a comparator that outputs a signal level based on which of the two signals is larger. The voltage level of the output of the phototransistor determines how long it will take for the ramp voltage to catch up and cross over the phototransistor voltage. The crossover time determines the width of an output signal and is directly proportional to the voltage level. A microcontroller can then determine the pulse width by multiple samplings and therefore determine photodetector voltage
