Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an avalanche photodiode pixel including: a transistor adapted to be controlled by an enable signal having a first state for controlling the enabling of the pixel and a second state for controlling the disabling of the pixel, the transistor being configured to couple an avalanche photodiode of the pixel to a node of application of a substrate voltage when the enable signal is in the first state; and an output circuit adapted to be controlled by the enable signal and configured to provide a pixel output signal when the enable signal is in the first state and to block the pixel output signal when the enable signal is in the second state.
