A photon detector may include a sensor device and a readout component communicatively connected to the sensor device. The sensor device may include a sensor layer including an array of sensor pixels to generate electrical signals responsive to light radiation incident on the sensor layer, and a detector device connected to the sensor layer. The detector device may include an array of detector elements to convert the electrical signals to digital signals based on photon counting, where each of the detector elements includes an analog stage and a digital stage, and a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to output bias signals for the analog stages. The readout component may include a management device to output a set of control signals to the plurality of DACs that may cause modification to one or more of the bias signals to affect a power consumption of the detector device.
