    • Disclosed is an image sensing device having a reduced number of transistors within each imager cell as compared to prior art devices. Each imager cell includes a photosensitive element providing a photocharge responsive to incoming light, and first, second and third transistors. The first transistor is coupled to an activation line, e.g., a row select line, that carries an activation signal to a first plurality of imager cells to selectively activate cells for image data readout. This transistor transfers the photocharge towards a reference circuit node within the image cell in response to the activation signal. The second transistor is operably coupled to the first transistor, and is operative to selectively set a voltage level at the reference node. The third transistor has a control terminal coupled to the reference node, and an output terminal coupled to an output data bus common to a second plurality of image cells, e.g., a column of cells. The third transistor providing an output signal on the data line related to the reference node voltage, which is indicative of an amount of light incident upon the photosensitive element.

    • A self-biased, fully differential, complementary receiver apparatus and method is presented. The receiver accepts differential inputs that can vary over the full rail-to-rail common mode voltage range. It produces double-ended complementary outputs swinging rail-to-rail useful in signal level conversion and comparator applications. The receiver includes a dual, fully complementary and mirror-symmetrical arrangement of a differential input stage, a biasing stage and an output stage. A self biasing voltage is generated with a balanced voltage divider coupled between the outputs of the biasing stages. This frees both biasing outputs for use as analogous but complementary receiver outputs while providing the receiver with all the advantages of self bias. For small signal differential inputs, the input and biasing stages operate in their linear region useful for amplifier applications. Whereas the circuit is most advantageously implemented using both p-type and n-type CMOS transistors, it can similarly be advantageously implemented with bipolar transistors. Alternate circuit configurations are described.
    • 提出了一种自偏置,全差分,互补的接收装置和方法。 接收器接受可在整个轨到轨共模电压范围内变化的差分输入。 它产生双端互补输出摆幅轨到轨可用于信号电平转换和比较器应用。 接收机包括差分输入级,偏置级和输出级的双重,完全互补和镜像对称的布置。 通过耦合在偏置级的输出端之间的平衡分压器产生自偏置电压。 这样就可以将两个偏置输出释放出来,作为类似但互补的接收器输出,同时为接收机提供自偏置的所有优点。 对于小信号差分输入,输入和偏置级在其对于放大器应用有用的线性区域中工作。 尽管电路最有利地使用p型和n型CMOS晶体管实现,但是也可以类似地利用双极型晶体管实现电路。 描述了备用电路配置。

    • The present invention relates to an automatic gain control circuit in which the automatic gain control function is performed entirely in the digital domain. In an illustrative embodiment, the digital automatic gain control circuit for an image sensor having associated therewith an analog-to digital (A/D) converter for converting analog electrical signals from the image sensor to corresponding digital codes, includes a min/max detector for determining minimum and maximum electrical signal values from the digital codes of the A/D converter for each frame of image. A filter coupled to the min/max detector dampens instantaneous changes of the minimum and maximum values by filtering to provide filtered minimum and maximum values. A digital-to-analog (D/A) converter coupled to the filter generates minimum and maximum analog reference voltages corresponding to the respective minimum and maximum filtered values, the reference voltages being applied to the A/D converter to control associated amplitudes of the digital codes provided thereby.
