Circuit diagrams are posted here from time to time, so it should be OK.

Hi, and thank you for these suggestions.
Currently this project becomes reality (slowly): this kind of
synchronization/grabbing is very interesting, but I need something fast
(I expect the SPAD with active quenching circuitry could output 30ns
pulses, and the quantization frequency I hope to run at is 350/450MHz
range).
Anyway, I found some FPGA code for so fast UART, not difficult to
implement, and using these kind of devices this system you propose can
be built from scratch, including a small buffer.
Can I post an LTSpice drawing for review here describing the active
quenching circuitry?
Best Regards,
Ilia
