LIGHT DETECTION DEVICE AND LIGHT DETECTION SYSTEM

A photodetection device according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of light-receiving sections that each generates a pulse signal including a pulse corresponding to a result of light reception, a plurality of edge detectors that each generates a detection signal by detecting an edge of the pulse in the pulse signal generated by a corresponding light-receiving section, and an adder that generates a detection value indicating number of the pulses on the basis of a plurality of the detection signals. The edge detectors each include a first latch circuit that generates a first signal by latching the pulse signal on the basis of a first clock signal, a second latch circuit that generates a second signal by latching the first signal on the basis of a second clock signal that is an inverted signal of the first clock signal, a combination circuit that generates a third signal on the basis of the pulse signal, the first signal, and the second signal, and a third latch circuit that generates the detection signal by latching the third signal on the basis of the first clock signal.
