摘要： A photosensor device (41) having tapered photodiodes (53, 55) that are interdigitated and which is compatible with typical ASIC, CMOS and BiCMOS processes. A left side photodiode array of tapered regions (53) of a first conductivity type is disposed into an epitaxil layer of a second conductivity type. This array of photodiodes is coupled together and further coupled to a first output terminal (43). A right side photodiode array of tapered regions (55) of said first conductivity type is disposed into the epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type, spaced apart from the left side photodiode by a minimum distance. A second output terminal is coupled to the array of right side photodiodes (51). An incident light spot (39) is focused onto the sensor. The amount of current generated at the first and second output terminals (43, 51) will be proportional to the area of the left photodiode array and the area of the right photodiode array which is receiving light. By comparing the current generated at the first and second output terminals, the position of the incident light spot can be accurately measured as a percentage of the total width of the sensor. The photosensor (41) may be used in many applications but is particularly well suited to autofocusing systems. Several embodiments are described which vary the size and number of photodiodes used. An integrated circuit (123) which incorporates the photosensor with the circuitry needed to output a digital position measurement is described.

摘要： Defective pixels in a CMOS array give rise to spot noise that diminishes the integrity of the resulting image. Because CMOS arrays and digital logic can be fabricated on the same integrated circuit using the same processing technology and relatively inexpensive and fast circuit can be employed to digitally filter the pixel data stream and to identify pixels having values that do not fall in the range defined by the immediately neighboring pixels and the deviate from the neighboring pixels by more than a threshold amount. Such conditions would indicate that the deviation is caused by a defective pixel rather than by desired image data. The threshold amount can be preprogrammed or can be provided by a user or can be dynamically set using feedback indicating image quality. The filter would also provide a solution for other sensors such as CCD, although a single chip solution would likely not be possible.

摘要： An linear optical sensor charged-coupled topology using single-stage inverting charge-coupled amplifier driving an analog-to-digital converter which uses the converter full-scale reference as a precharge level. Since an offset in the range of 100–200 mV is introduced in the charge amplifier, a corresponding offset is also introduced into the ADC to allow the amplifier to more quickly drive the amplifier output to a low level. The converter offset is proportional to the converter reference to ensure that it is controlled and tracks the reference.

摘要： A simple low-cost fiber optic connector having a body member into which a ferrule is inserted and held in place by an expandable retainer which allows the ferrule to snap out of the assembly upon the application of a substantial pulling force, and thereby avoid damage to the fiber or to the connector. A preferred embodiment includes two aligned ferrules inserted into opposite sides of the body such that their tips meet at the center to interconnect the ends of two optical fibers. A multiple-ferrule embodiment is also contemplated.

摘要： Two methods for suppressing the fixed pattern noise effects of a pixel reset switch by ensuring that the reset NMOS device operates in its linear region. The first approach uses a separate reset switch supply voltage, VRES, set to at least one threshold voltage below the sensing switch supply voltage, Vdd. The second approach uses a charge pump and level shifter to push the reset gate voltage at least one threshold voltage higher than a supply voltage common to both the reset and sense transistors.
