Abstract
Disclosed herein is an electronic device that includes a peak detection circuit configured to receive a mirror sense signal from an oscillating mirror and to generate peak information for a mirror period as a function thereof. The electronic device includes a mirror control circuit that estimates an opening angle of the oscillating mirror as a function of the peak information, generates a control signal for the oscillating mirror as a function of the estimated opening angle, and resets the peak detection circuit at an end of the mirror period.
