摘要： The present invention relates to a CMOS active pixel sensor which includes a compensation circuit capable of compensating a lowered pixel voltage output due to leakage current of a photodiode. The CMOS active pixel sensor having a light sensing unit for generating an output voltage when light is incident thereupon, the sensing unit having an amount of leakage current before the incidence of light. A reset unit resets the output voltage of the light sensing unit to an initial reset voltage in response to a reset signal. A sense transistor has a source, a drain coupled to a power source voltage, and a gate coupled to the output of the light sensing unit. A select transistor has a drain connected to a source of the sense transistor, and provides the voltage of the sense transistor to a bit line, in response to a select signal. A compensation unit supplies a voltage corresponding to the output voltage of the light sensing unit lowered by the leakage current.

摘要： A power regulator includes a pass transistor, a feedback circuit, an error amplifier and a protection circuit. The pass transistor receives an unregulated first power supply voltage, and an output terminal of the power regulator outputs an output voltage varying depending upon a control signal. The feedback circuit senses a current flowing through the pass transistor and generates a feedback signal. The error amplifier compares a reference signal to the feedback signal and generates a control signal varying depending upon a voltage difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal. The protection circuit scales down a current flowing through the pass transistor by a prescribed ratio and changes a voltage of the control signal when the scaled-down current has a value higher than a prescribed value. Accordingly, the power regulator may control a current limit correctly and be capable of implementing a sensing resistor having an appropriate resistance value for providing over-current protection that occupies a smaller chip area.
