A signal delay component may be configured to receive a LiDAR output signal including an analog waveform from a LiDAR system, and provide a time-delayed LiDAR output signal including a time-delayed analog waveform. A differential comparator may be configured to receive the LiDAR output signal including the analog waveform and the time-delayed LiDAR output signal including the time-delayed analog waveform, and to provide a digital output signal. A processor may be configured to generate LiDAR data including a distance associated with the LiDAR output signal and an amplitude associated with the LiDAR output signal, the distance being based on a first time associated with a rising edge of the digital output signal, and the amplitude being based on a time difference between the first time associated with the rising edge of the digital output signal and a second time associated with a falling edge of the digital output signal.
